A propos de cet article

Elephant folio 15" x 21". Volumes 4, 5, and 6 only. Three quarter leather bound covers with brown stain covers are frayed at corners and spine caps with two missing spine strips and 3 of the 6 boards are detached (but all present). Boards and spines are straight. Bindings are tight. Marbled end sheets and paste down clean and vibrant. Text pages are barely toned, largely free of foxing, with only very sparse, modest soiling and overall in very good condition. Plates range from being untoned to light toning, and from being completely free of foxing to moderate foxing (although those with moderate foxing tends to be more in the margin areas). The plates are overall in very good condition. Volume 4: complete with 53 plates (one being an extra, also labeled plate VII, but not identical) , several of which are folding plates and 2 of which are handcolored. Volume 5: complete with 69 plates, 2 of which are double page. Volume 6: unknown how many plates are called for, but present are a total of 14 plates as follows, 2 b&w partial page plates within a text page, 4 full page b&w (one has very heavy foxing) , and 8 handcolored plates. These volumes are excellent candidates for rebinding with new covers as the page bindings are solid and condition of the contents overall in very good condition. N° de réf. du vendeur 8044
