Binding remains square and tight. The front free end paper (bearing the stamp of S.H. Lazarus, Second Hand Bookseller, in London) has come loose but remains tucked in. Some damage / chipping to the bottom of the half title page, facing. "Alte Auflage" stamped in blue on title page. A word, "Zucch", is written in black ink on the back of the last map in the book, facing the rear free end paper. Otherwise pages are tanned commensurate with age, but clean and unmarked.
