See photos for condition details. Hardcover, maroon cloth boards decorated in black and gilt on front, blind stamped on rear. The exterior shows spotting and handling wear, along with edge and corner bumps/wear. The front board and spine shows a lot of spotting which has loss to the color. The internal binding is good, no hinge cracks and text pages are tight. There are no bookplates, no library markings, and the only handwriting found is the original owners name lightly written in pencil on the front end page. Pages are toned due to age but are clean although both pastedowns and end pages do show a lot of light foxing.
