Condition
Good antique condition. The decorative blue cloth covers remain attractive with bright gilt decoration on the front cover and spine. There is rubbing and fraying at the corners and spine ends, with the heaviest wear at the top of the spine.
The pages are clean with light age toning. The binding is solid, though the front hinge shows the binding cords, as pictured. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
