Paris: Librairie Delagrave, 1924-25. Edition definitive illustrée. Very Good. Quarto (25 cm); 10 volumes. 176 fine half-tones from photographs, each with tissue guard. Each volume bound in publisher's quarter calf over marbled boards; gilt spine (with insect motifs) in six compartments, red leather labels. Marbled endleaves. Pictorial bookplate of Umberto Bardelli.
