Philadelphia: J.W. Lewis & Co., 1888. Two substantial, heavy volumes, weighing close to 20 pounds. Both disbound with covers detached. Leather spine and corners trimmed in gilt over maroon patterned cloth. Gilt borders all around. Leather spine has gilt titles and decorations.

(more info here: http://www.corinthianyc.org/history62.html) Wear to leather corners and head and heel of spine. Some soil to endpapers. Booksellers pencilled notation on blank page. Volume 1 has 957 pages. Last several pages have a small tear in margin. Several wrinkled pages. Profusely illustrated with black and white engravings. Volume 2 continues pagination at 958 and ends with 2189 pages. We noted some small staining at the pastedown on volume 2. All pages are heavy glossy stock and there is no foxing. The quality of the engravings is superb. The leather binding, particularly to spine and corners is worn and appears somewhat fragile. A variety of bylined authors have written a history of each community in Essex County, Massachusetts and biographical profiles of prominent men are accompanied by their portrait engravings. A rare and special volume worth restoring. Thanks for shopping with us! 100% of your purchase benefits charity and supports literacy and lifelong learning.. Quarter Leather.
