Notes: 1st ed. (ordinary and large paper editions evidently; this publication record represents both as of 2016-11-05)
Price from advertisement, back pages of Lang's
Prince Prigio

LCCN (which links e-copy at HathiTrust Digital Library (HDL)), and OCLC 7229289:

HDL
catalog record provides full view of one copy without original cover (2 copies of 1 original from U California)
- HDL notes "No. 45 of limited edition of 100 copies on large, hand-made paper." (not supported by e-copy interior)
- Title page complex, no date
- t.p. verso credits letter-press Arrowsmith, drawings lithographed Robinson, both of Bristol
- Dedication, letter To Jeanie Lang, Lappa(?) from A. L.
- "Whuppity Stoorie's Song in this Tale is by the Author's Friend, F. De Q. M."
- text with b/w decorations and colour illustrations spans p1-86
- p86 footer "J. W. Arrowsmith, Printer, Quay Street, Bristol."
Another library record of the large paper edition evidently,
OCLC 7380619, notes among others:
-- "Paper made by John Dickinson & Co. - Laid signature on last leaf."
-- "Limited edition of 100 copies on large, hand-made paper. Copies are hand-numbered."
-- "Two page publisher's list follows the text."
And gives the description "[4] preliminary leaves, 86 pages [14] leaves of plates : illustrations ; 26 cm" (note size difference)
Apparently that is the large-paper edition.
LCCN and OCLC records may represent the ordinary edition or large paper edition poorly catalogued.
HDL apparently provides the ordinary edition poorly catalogued.
