4to., First Edition, profusely illustrated throughout with photographs toned in sepia, free endpapers lightly browned; original green cloth blocked in blind, gilt back, green endpapers, backstrip dulled (but all gilt wholly legible), a very good, bright, clean copy.
Morton contributes a delightful 4pp forward prefaced by a fine full-page portrait in sepia. Odhams' massive pictorial survey covers every conceivable aspect of life from the turn of the century onwards. Inevitably there is significant coverage of the Boer War and WWI. VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION
