Complete set in the original 11 parts with 35 chromolithograph and 51 photogravure plates (after Henrik Gronvold) and 12 maps. 4to. Hardbacks. A very pleasing set indeed. Some spotting, largely confined to fore-edges of text blocks and to borders of photogravure plates, o/w. contents fine. Comes with the Publishe's advert for binding options and their costs. Original printed wrappers just lightly rubbed in places, a little more so to last part, o/w. in nr fine condition. A very pleasing set indeed.
