Description:
144 pp. 13 color plates of flies. 9 sunken mounts on 5 thick leaves, containing a total of 108 specimen flies. (8vo) 23x15 cm (9x6") original full green morocco, double gilt-rule borders, lettered in gilt, all edges gilt. One of a few copies only of this de luxe issue. First Edition.
The number of copies produced is sometimes speculated at 30 but this seems rather generous given the scarcity of copies appearing at auction. Based entirely on the author‘s own observations as an angler, adapted from his private notebooks. Rare.
Condition
Binding a bit rubbed, some light foxing; very good.
