Beschreibung

8vo. 3 vols (complete) Vol 2 in two parts each with title page, though the pagination is continuous. 436, xciv, 739 plus unpaginated index. Vol3 is the atlas and plate volume containing 36 plates (of the 37 called for), some double page, but most multi-folding. Half green calf, raised bands, gilt. The bindings are rubbed and marked - thought perfectly sound - hinges strong and flexible. As is so often the case, the insects of the sub-continent have taken nourishment from the bindings, each of which has been damaged; The top of the lower board of vol1 has been eaten away ( quarter inch) - the leather of spine and corner unaffected. In vol2 the same has happened to the bottom of the lower board (half inch). In vol3 it is the top of the front board. Some of the maps have been inaccurately folded which has allowed the fore-edges to project slightly with consequent tearing. Scattered internal foxing and blind-stamp on top of title page to vol.1. The damage listed is has not affected the spines. The set looks very well on the shelf and is basically very sound. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 00944
