The Keepsake. 1830 - 1844 Inclusive. 15 Volumes

15 volumes collected in two sizes. Stiff unmarked books bound in brick cloth. Gilt decorated leather spines with 4 raised bands, marbled endpapers, and ribbon marker. 1830 - 1837 are 5" x 7.5". 1838 - 1844 are 6.5" x 9.5" Moderate shelfwear, mainly to corners. Moderate foxing to endpapers and reverse of some of the etchings but pages are bright and crisp. Up to 18 steel-plate tissue-guarded etchings per volume. Larger editions printed in Paris, the smaller in London. The publication history of "The Keepsake" is complicated, but these appear to be first editions. The foreword to the 1833 edition makes note of the newer larger size. No further printings are noted on any volumes. Links to the contents of each volume found on wikipedia.
