Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket. Extra Illustrated Edition. Thomas Creevey (1768 - 1838) was an erudite English politician whose association with many influential men and women of his time, included the Duke of Wellington--he was the first civilian to interview him after the Battle of Waterloo. Creevey kept a copious diary for 36 years. His journals and correspondence were edited by Herbert Maxwell and first published in 1903. They provide a valuable and important account of life in Georgian England. This set is the desirable Extra Illustrated edition, and includes an additional 100 portraits, views, etc., about 50 of which are in color. Bound in 3/4 green leather over green boards, top edges are gilt. Spines have 5 raised bands with gilt spine lettering. There is edge wear to this set, and some tips are showing; the tops of vols 1 & 2 are worn. The outer joints are cracked, but covers are holding. Inner hinges are in good condition with no cracks or splits. There is a previous owner's bookplate in each volume. A clean, unmarked set with no other interior or exterior markings; most pages have no foxing or staining--a few illustrations have light, minor foxing here and there, and a couple of plates in volume 1 have dampstaining to lower margin (does not affect any other pages, however). There are old bookseller notes dated 1927 in light pencil regarding this set on a rear free end paper in volume one, and there is a light pencil number on the rear of each plate with a page number--and sometimes the name of the person depicted in the plate is also noted in light pencil, where someone apparantly collated the set at one time--all could be erased if desired. Pagination: v. 1: pp. v-xxv, 1 - 204; v. 2; pp. 205 - 444 ; v. 3: pp. 445 - 713. Volume 3 contains an index. Bound in the rear of volume 3 are two additional pages in different paper stock: one page gives the printing history of the Creevey Papers to 1905, and the other is a title page for a 1905 edition--it is not clear to me why these two pages are present in this set as each volume has its own title page printed in red and black with a 1903 date. We are happy to answer any questions about this set.; Color & B&W illustrations; 8vo, 8"- 9" tall.
