[SHAW, VERO]. The Illustrated Book of the Dog with an Appendix on Canine Medicine and Surgery by W. Gordon Stables. London: Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co., 1881.

First edition. Cloth-bound. Hardcover. Large format (280 x 210 x 60 mm). Pp. viii, 664, [2 leaves of advertisements to rear]: including 28 colour plates (including frontispiece). English text. Bound in publisher's original decorative cloth with bevelled board edges. All page edges gilt. Coated endpapers. Half-title present. Illustrated with 28 colour plates, numerous woodcut drawings, head- and tail-pieces, and decorative initials. General index to rear in triple columns. Condition: GOOD. Collated complete. Binding secure, although both inner joints have been strengthened. Extremities a little chipped and rubbed, particularly at the head of the spine and points. Some foxing to endpapers, otherwise the interior is largely very well-preserved, with the colour plates being fresh and clean. Couple of initial leaves have a little tape residue. Scarce.

Notes: First edition and the fourth book ever printed in English with canine colour plates. A heavy book and very scarce.
