These are marked, worn, spotted and stained. There is wear to the corners and the head and foot of the spine. Yet, they are robust and sturdy. Within, the contents have wear and there are some occasional light closed tears to the foot spine edge of pages. The cartoons and text and security are unaffected. The patterned front and end papers are as if from a bourgeois parlour. The frontispage has a lengthy closed tear from the foot. The cartoons are principally imperial in attitude with a sound patriotism. Some have, naturally, a South African aspect with campaigns in South West and Eastern German Africa. The pages are tanned by age about the edges. The bodies are mild, assured, pleasing and agreeably healthy in spirit and reality. The pages are firm. A copy to give much enjoyment. fk.
