Condition

In a full cloth binding. Externally, generally smart, with patches of rubbing to the boards. Front hinge is slightly strained but firm. Library plate to the front pastedown, with institutional stamps to the preliminary pages and to the verso of plates. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Large maps have minor chips to the extremities. Closed tear to the gutter of the two maps. One of the maps is detached but present. Just the odd spot to pages.
