Small quarto. xvi + 608pp Navy cloth with gilt title, etc. to spine and front cover, gilt illustration on upper board, blind borders, with 372 b&w illustrations, title page vignette, index. The first edition of this "scientific treatise on sex, its nature and function, and its Influence on art, science, architecture, and religion--with special reference to sex worship and symbolism." Moderate shelf wear to cloth, spine ends and corners bruised and lightly chafed, light vertical creases to spine, front endpapers just starting to show a few splits at inner margins, first and last blanks a little chipped at fore-edge, pages lightly toned. A little bumped and slightly shaken, which is almost inevitable with this edition, which is surprisingly heavy. Still a solid and unmarked about better than VG copy and scarce thus - copies of this first edition are seldom seen in such good condition (no dust jacket). Very heavy book, may require additional shipping. Item #67909
