Mild toning to book's five color plates on unpaged leaves - frontispiece without a guard sheet but with other four retaining theirs (all uncredited but presumably by Walter Paget); twelve full page b/w plates on paged leaves (all but one credited to either "EN" or "E.

An uncommon edition of John Bunyan's classic highpoint of Christian theological and allegorical fiction.
