Condition
In a half calf binding. Externally very smart, with a little wear to the extremities and the front joint. Minor bumping to both boards. Both joints starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound, though page 133/134 is coming loose. Pages are generally clean, with the odd spot and handling mark throughout, with more spotting to the first few pages. Tidemarks to the plates, not affecting the illustrations, and a closed tear to page 135.
Very Good
