Beschreibung

Both volumes of the first edition which should be more accurately subtitled "the Late John Murrays" since the work covers both the original founder of the great publishing house, and his son, John Murray II. Each volume has a frontispiece; papa in Volume I, son in Volume II. This is a very good set, with both volumes being tightly bound and very sound. There are a few ownership rubber stamps scattered throughout (dated 1892) and a bookseller's label on the pastedown of Volume II, otherwise very clean and unmarked internally. Blue cloth looks nice and fresh with the gilt lettering crisp and bright. Some slight wear to extremities and some browning to the untrimmed edges. Excellent copies. Expect a little extra shipping fee for these two heavy books. JS. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002486
