Catalogue Note
Although 1000 copies of this large paper edition were prepared, only 190 were bound. The remainder were reissued in 1914 in light brown cloth. As well as being in a larger format compared with the standard first edition it also has five more plates and pictorial endpapers. Both editions were published on 15 October.
