Full leather binding by Riviere; ffep and ffly still connected to detached front board with rear board only tenuously attached; boards feature gilt decorated borders, edges, and inner dentelles; spine with five slightly raised bands with gilt tooled compartments although with surface losses at ends; small surface losses to spine's title label do not affect gilt lettering. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Discrete ink stamp "Bound by Riviere & Son." at ffep verso's bottom left corner. Foxing to initial and rear leaves with interior occurrences mostly to b/w plates and their adjacent pages. Frontispiece retains tissue guard; other plates do not have guards (most likely as issued as no evidence of their presence). Text block remains firm. Sold as is. Book now presented in a trimmed clear Dura-Lar (polyester film) sheet forming a dj which aids in securing the boards and modestly enhances shelf presence.…
