Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Two volumes folio (420 x 280 mm), continuously signed. Titlepages in red and black. Folded engraved frontispiece and 21 engraved plates, eight of them folding. In contemporary speckled calf over boards, double ruled in gilt, spine in seven compartments, title labels missing, volume numbers applied directly in gold, and gilt tool stamped in remaining compartments. Red speckled edges. Binding scuffed and abraded in places, revealing wood substrate; worn at corners, edges, and at spine ends, joints split, boards held on with later adhesive strips applied to hinges. Frontispiece partially split along fold, with some loss. Text block otherwise strong and entire, with plates clean and intact. Reference ESTC T136232, etc. EXTRA SHIPPING CHARGES WILL APPLY.
