Item description from seller

1894 FIRST EDITION. Two-Volume DELUXE LARGE PAPER LIMITED FIRST EDITION numbered by publisher on printed limitation page. Two volumes complete. Original orange cloth boards with gilt coat of arms on front covers, navy spines and corners with gilt lettering spines, TEG, original dark greenish navy coated EPs, untrimmed fore-edge and bottom edge both volumes. Both volumes have loss of much of the spine covering (see photos), but bindings are very solid and not broken or cracked. This set is an obvious candidate for rebacking. The covers have significant rubbing along edges and corners but the boards are relatively clean and bright with a few faint dark smudges (nothing serious). Each volume has previous owner's bookplate and small bookseller ticket on front pastedown otherwise no owner marks or writing on any pages, Some fore-edge foxing is present but nearly all pages are completely free of foxing and are clean.

Volume one has 494 pages, 20 b/w full-page illustrations and photos, 57 b/w in-text illustrations and photos, index. Volume two has 483 pages, 13 full-page illustrations and photos, 56 b/w in-text illustrations and photos, index.
