Illustrated with pochoir and line drawings after E. McKnight Kauffer. Small folio, original red-brown buckram, very slightly faded, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. London, The Nonesuch Press.
Number 1178 of 1650 numbered copies. Printed at the Curwen Press with the illustrations hand-coloured through stencils. McKnight Kauffer employed this medium for the special copies of the Nonesuch "Anatomy of Melancholy", but the above represents his first extended use. Spine faded (fading on to the top edge of the upper cover), otherwise an excellent copy.
