About This Item
Hard cover Folio (15 x 12 in). Original gilt tooled full brown morocco, edges gilt marbled endpapers. Pages complete xxiv + 180, with 250 full-page black and white engravings on card with captioned tissue-guards.

Page edges lightly scuffed and rubbed with some small scratches to cover boards - some remedial work done to secure the cover boards and spine, but otherwise good. Card plates bright but some foxing to the outer edges. Some foxing to the later text pages.
The plate index is a little tricky to use, but all plates are present with the following corrections:
Plate 75 misplaced to p130, plate 91 misplaced to p95.
Note: This volume is heavy (38x31x10cm, approx 10kg). Arrangements can be negotiated for the most cost effective method of delivery.
