The Matterhorn [Extra Illustrated with real photographs] With an Introduction by Edmondo de Amicis. Translated from Italian by J. E. C. Eaton. With 14 coloured Plates and 23 Pen-and-ink Drawings by Edoardo Rubino and 11 Photographs. Association Copy.

FIRST EDITION. First Impression. With 10 extra photographic prints pasted in, including possible photo of Rey on inside front cover. Previously owned by S. L. Courtauld (of the Courtauld family and Eltham Palace fame) who, as a very keen mountaineer, also probably took the photographs and pasted them in. Large 8vo. hardback, bound in original publisher's mustard cloth with leather title label to spine. 336pp., indexed, illustrated with 14 two-colour, tipped-in plates with captioned tissue-guards, 23 line drawings and 11 b/w photographic plates. Also illustrated with an additional 10 real b/w photos, pasted to blank reverse sides of illustrations. A couple of plates have become detached and many of the illustrated pages have very brittle edges with some loss. Engraved bookplate plus ink signature of S. L. Courtauld and date (Xmas 1907) to ffep. Some pencil annotations to pasted in photographs. Binding a little weak. Some foxing to prelims. Spine darkened and slight damage to title labels. Some wear to edges and small nick to top edge of upper board. Overall a Sound but Interesting Association Copy.
