Internally there are fine marbled endpapers and blind stamped dentelles. Apart from a contemporary ink dedication on a front blank page, some light scores in the leather from use and a slightly faded strip on the head of the upper board this is an exceptional copy with almost no foxing, no tears or other blemishes. As this copy was bound by Bickers perhaps it was a special edition by the publisher. First edition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 11514
