FIRST EDITION, INCLUDES THE TWO EXTRA PLATES, 'Vittoria' and 'Pampeluna'. They were probably issued later as an added attraction for a book that remained in print for several years. The 33 circular plates measure only 2½in. in diameter; Prideaux calls their execution 'tiny and beautiful'. Abbey Life 350; Tooley 70.
