Hardback. Beatifully bound in cream parchment paper with gilt blocked titles and pictorial to the front and spine. The binding has darkened a little with minor wear and bumping to the corners. The top and fore-edge are slightly foxed. Ex-libris label to the front paste down. The text block is fairly tight despite a little cracking to the rear internal hinge. The prelims and a few pages edges are foxed with some of the pages uncut. There is an introduction, a history and setting of the Sundial. Each page thereafter has a beautiful illustration with a decorative border in green and a poem. Foxing to the prelims and towards the rear otherwise a nice clean copy. pp. 422 + 4. Overall a lovely copy.
