Fabulous rebound quarter leather set with tight bindings. Packed with thousands of high quality engravings. 1774 pages including index.The spines have been replaced with leather and the original 5 raised bar spine labels glued back on - whilst incomplete the gilt titling is clear. The marbling to the pages edges is quite faded. Marbled endpapers.Sporadically spotted throughout. Appears professionally done. The content may be a little outdated and arch in style being written I would assume for middle class English Victorian gents it is highly readable and interesting.
