Engravings, woodcuts and color plates; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; Volumes 102 & 103, for the year of 1881. Bound together from single issues by 20th century owner in 1/2 black morocco and marbled paper boards with titles brightly in gilt to spine. Ten issues only (of 12) lacking January and November 1881. With the ten large, folding hand-colored fashion plates for the issues present (one per issue) : March plate mis-folded with light browning/toning where it protruded beyond the text block; July plate with a small old tape mend at lower edge. Otherwise the plates are bright and attractive. Contents appear to include the expected illustrated matter for the issues present (b&w fashion engravings, costume/craft pages, engravings, and sheet music). Eccentrically bound: the prior owner excluded most advertising leaves (apparently bound separately) , so this volume is largely the editorial/illustrated content rather than complete issue wrappers/ads. Attractive custom binding and a very presentable working/collector copy with the key visual component all ten color folding fashion plates called for (for the issues present). Present: Feb Oct, Dec 1881 (10 issues). Lacking: Jan, Nov 1881. Plates: 10/10 present for issues included (note March mis-fold; July tape mend) VG. . Oversize book may require additional charges for expedited or international shipping. N° de réf. du vendeur 59045
