Item description from seller

Octavos. Uniformly bound in pictorial cloth over boards with black lettering to the spines, dark-gray endpapers. Each volume richly illustrated with many black-and-white photographic plates by Orwell's contemporaries: Bill Brandt, Robert Capa, Henri Brassai, et al. A near fine set free of any blemishes to the extremities, excepting for one very faint spot to the endpapers of the last volume (Funny But Not Vulgar) the text-blocks remain exceptionally bright, clean, and unmarked with firm, sound bindings; all housed in the original pictorial slipcase with gilt-and-black lettering to the panels which shows a nominal crack to the rear hinge (very much holding and structurally sound). An altogether lovely five-volume set of Orwell's often overlooked non-fiction prose.
