Mauve embossed leather over bevelled boards with gilt titles on faded spine. Corners, spine ends and edges are rubbed but externally this book is very good. Internal front hinge is cracked inside e/p but contents are tight. No inscriptions. Many engravings and wood cuts, most with original tissue, plus folding map which has a tear in one corner. Some age discolouration and minor foxing of contents. Gilt page edges.
