    Description

    Scarce

    With forty photographs and four empty windows. With eight colour illustrated windows.

    Condition

    In a decorative morocco leather binding, with gilt decoration. Externally, some rubbing, with small closed tears to the front board. The joints are cracked, and the backstrip is missing, with some loss to the boards. Internally, only generally firmly bound, with the cloth binding split between the music box and the photograph pages. There are several small closed tears to the windows, with some browning and marks. There are light marginal tidemarks to each page. The music mechanism works, but requires some care and attention.
