Top page edges blue - bottom edges untrimmed. The plates have captioned tissue-guards. Numerous black and white designs and illustrations. The binding has some edge/corner wear, a little fading to the spine and slight nibbling to top and bottom of spine. There is a slight fade to the outer edge of the front board but the beautiful gilt titles and decoration are clean and bright; and a little spotting to the back board. The whole book has a very slight lean. The decorative endpapers have slight browning - the front pastedown has an ink ownership signature. There is a tissue guarded frontispiece and decorative title page. The contents are in very good condition being clean with only the very occasional spot - the colour plates are beautiful. The tissue guard to plate 11 has a crease. A good copy.
