According to Bennett, only 300 copies were printed. Bennett p. 102. Fifteen parts, quarto (292 x 233mm). 15 chromolithographs with tissue guards. Original stab-sewn printed wrappers in buff, yellow, and blue (pts. 3 and 15 without threads, wrappers generally in good condition but some with small chips, and closed tears or repairs along the spine crease, a few unevenly toned). Provenance: Part 13 with presentation inscription from the author to C.L. Himes.
