The 12 monthly issues for 1871 bound together in one volume with publisher's extra title page and contents pages present. Bound in 1/2 grained green leather over pebbled green cloth. Leather lightly rubbed at corner and spine edgesAll 12 hand colored fashion plates are present; it appears the publisher changed from using a double page fashion sheet in the month of September. First 8 plates are double page and those for the months of Sept - Dec are single page. The plates were issued in the single issues as folding plates bound in at the left edge but in this example of rebound issues they have been sewn in over the center fold and open as a double page rather than as a folding plate. The 8 folding plates all have the binding thread holes in the margin of the left edge. Pages 755-758 pulled loose fro the binding and laid in with furring along the front edge margins. Endpapers split in the gutters but binding is sound. Soundly bound with clean contents and deficiencies as mentioned. VG- thus. Seller Inventory # 50125
