"Of this large paper edition of the Ingoldsby Legends only 560 copies have been printed of which 500 are for sale in England and 50 in America. This is No.131 of the English Edition. [Signed by] Arthur Rackham". This volume came from a different source to the other specials and has a few spots and some light marginal browning. It is still a good copy.
