About This Item
Complete set in 30 volumes three quarter dark blue (nearly black) leather binding plus marbled boards and endpapers, gilt top edges and raised spines. 1824-1825. Black and white illustrations by Deveria throughout; plates in two states: engraved as what looks to be a sketch or a preliminary version (see provided image). Good, no dust jackets.
Condition: Light wear to edges, corners and raised spines; sunning to fore-edges of some volumes; light rubbing to some of the marbled boards. Some of the leather exterior joints show wear, but all of the joints and hinges are quite strong (some volumes feel unread). Foxing and offsetting throughout all of the volumes. Gilt top edges are bright and clean; titling on spine is still very readable and attractive. Text in French.
Additional pictures are available upon request.
