Footnotes
Rare, expanded edition. "The collation is similar to the first edition, first printing [see previous lot] with two notable exceptions. This special memorial edition contains several black-and-white full-page plates that were not included in earlier editions and images throughout appear to be of slightly higher contrast than in earlier editions" (Chet Ross).
