Wolf (Joseph) and Edward Whymper. The Life and Habits of Wild Animals, first edition, signed by artist and engraver, wood-engraved plates, occasional finger soiling, original green morocco, gilt, rubbed, rebacked preserving original spine, folio, 1874.
⁂ The inscription on front free endpaper (in Whymper's hand) reads "Mr Craik has asked us to sign our names on this copy given to his god daughter Winifred Wilson Holme. Christmas, 1873" with signatures of Wolf and Whymper beneath. It is alos likely that this is a publisher's presentation binding of full morocco.
