First Edition 12mo 6.5 x 4 inches, xi + [1] + 178 + [2] pp. [3] leaves of plates, in this case joined to make a folding hand-coloured frontispiece. Bound in original green cloth with 'The Archers Guide' lettered in gilt on the upper board, extremities slightly worn very occasional foxing or finger mark in the text but a very good example complete. The bibliography states that the Illustrations were issued in two variants, with a single leaf frontis and two plates bound in the text, found in the paper covered boards bindings, or (as here) with the three plates joined to make a folding frontis. This variant seems to be found only in the cloth bound versions. The plates are identical in both versions. On the front pase-down endpaper is a bookplate sized engraved ticket of 'Calvert Bowyer and Fletcher to their Royal Highnesses the Dutchess of Kent and Princess Victoria 189 Fleet Street London' within an elaborate border of Bows and Arrows, Quivers Etc. Mr Calvert presumably sold this book in has shop. The book is scarce and there only seem about 35 copies recorded in libraries worldwide. A hunt on the web found only two copies of this first edition (both imperfect - lacking a plate or plates) and Bowman in New York has a good example ($500).…
