About This Item
This is a handsome, fine binding set of the "Life of DANIEL WEBSTER" by George Ticknor Curtis. 1870 2nd edition (stated); D. Appleton and Company; New York. With engraved frontispiece portraits of Webster in both volumes, and a few other in-text illustrations. Complete set in two volumes. Nicely bound in three-quarter leather with marbled covers, five raised bands on the spine, marbled page edges on all sides, and marbled end papers. There is an Index at the back of volume II.
Condition:
Some light rubbing of the marbled paper on the covers; there are a few small scratches to the leather on the spines. The lettering on the author/volume labels on spines has partially faded. There is a 1" strip at the outer edge of the back cover of volume II where the marbled paper has peeled up. Both volumes are tightly bound with no cracks and no loose pages. Both volumes have clean interiors - the pages are clean and white with no condition issues found. Overall a very nice set.
