Collated, complete.Verestchagin was a Russian war artist, many of his works were notably too graphic for exhibition. Rebound in green cloth. Externally, sound. There is some loss to the heads and tails of the spines. There is some bumping to the extremities. There is also some wear to the joints. The hinges are starting but firm. Prior owner's mostly removed book plates to the first pastedowns of each volume. Internally, generally firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean with only the occasional spot. Good.
