Publisher's binding in half red heartache, signed E. at the bottom of the upper cover, certainly for Engel. Back with false flat nerves decorated with grotesque boxes with central cartridges. Golden title. Golden slices. White moire guards with some stains. rare and pale freckles around the snakes, but on the whole paper of a superb freshness.
