Dust jacket is torn, with loss to the head and tail. The damage is not quite so stark now that the jacket is protected by library sleaving. The boards are bowed, but internally the book is faultless. Includes a catalogue of an exhibition held by Wheeler at the Athenaeum gallery in March 1953. "of this edition, only 25 copies have been printed, all of which have been numbered and signed by the artist" One painting per page, coloured ones tipped in. This copy is no.16. Scan available on request.
