Beschreibung

Two Volumes. vi; (ii); 322 + (ii)publisher's adverts; vi; ii; 318 + (ii)publishers advert pages. Eleven full-page plates. Rebound and signed by Bayntun, in full polished Lincoln green calf, extra gilt on the spine with two contrasting morocco title-labels on the spine. All page edges in gilt. The original pictorial gilt cloth covers in the publisher's original and primary binding of brick-red cloth, the upper covers with lettering blocked in gilt within elaborate black Victorian borders, the spines decorated and lettered similarly in black and gilt, covers have been skilfully bound at the rear of each volume, front back and spine of each volume, essentially the original cloth covers are preserved entire and intact. An exceptional pretty binding, retaining the original half-titles and adverts. The cloth covers are fresh and in very good order as are the contents, I doubt the book even needed rebinding ?
