12 1/8" X 17 1/8" Two Volume Set! Hard bound in 3/4 leather and marbelized boards with title in gold on the spine. 5 Raised Bands form 6 sections on the Spine. No DJ as issued. AEG. Vol. I has [viii] + 104 pages of text and 56 full page photogravures with a full page description for each. Vol. II has [vi] + 114 pages of text and 56 full page photogravures with a full page description for each. The photogravures are printed on heavy weight stock and they are all in good bright condition. Each print has a tissue to protect it. Marbelized end pages. The covers bear the stamp of McGlinchey & Locke, Book Binders, Opp. Old South Church, Boston, so I believe this to be the original binding. "A gallery of dramatic illustration and critical biographies of distinguished English and American Actors from the time of Shakespeare till to-day." "128 Photogravure portraits and scenes from steel plates, and over 400 portraits in the text." "When the public receives the two magnificent volumes embellished with over one hundred character illustrations from steel photogravure plates, and over four hundred portraits of actors in the text, they will realize the fact that never before in connection with the literature of the Stage has such a costly and comprehensive work been attempted." Vol. I has some scuffing to the leather O/W Fine. Vol. II has a dent at the bottom of the back cover and a water stain at the upper right of the back pages of the text. None of the photogravures are affected. Packing and shipping will have to calculated after I have the buyer's zip code. Insurance will cost $11.20. The books weigh 24.5 pounds.
