About This Item
Andrus & Judd, Hartford, Conn., n.d. (pre-1865). Good. Two-volume set; both volumes have former owner's name and date of 1865, and ornamental stamp with his name; back end pages of Vol. I have some penciled notations and one of them is loose, chipped at edges; some upper edges have stains. Paper fine and strong, foxed but unchipped; quite wonderful engravings throughout. Leather binding scuffed and bumped, with gilt gravevine ornamentation and lettering on black patches on spines still bright, although some ornamentation is effaced at rubbed edges. Binding firm on Vol. I, but front board of Vol. II is detached--text blocks of both vos. intact and firm. Needs and deserves expert repair and price lowered to accomodate this.
