    Pictorial wrappers with a bare-breasted goddess of fertility, two naked cherubs, and a cornucopia on the front cover, 6.75x9.75 inches (25x17.5 cm), 103, [5] pages. Illustrated throughout with drawings, photographs, and full-page maps.

    GOOD condition: The covers have edge wear, tears and chips to the spine, and a small corner piece missing from near the bottom of the spine, but the front and rear wrapper images remain bright and clear. Internally, there is some professional reinforcement to the inner hinges, making this a solid, well bound copy; the pages are tight, bright, clean, clear and unmarked.

    The original 1898 issue of Wonderland '98 with the art-deco bare-breasted fertility goddess cover is quite hard-to-find.
