  This Dover edition, first published in 2002 and reissued in 2017, is an
  unabridged republication of the work originally published in 1950 by E. P.
  Dutton & Co., Inc., New York. The only significant alteration consists in
  moving the eight color plates from their original position in the book into an
  eight-page color insert between pages 76 and 77.
