Description
Like most copies of this text there are condition problems. The gutter margin of the title page has been reinforced; the folding map in front shows old repairs, short tears with no loss, and a hole at the central fold with some small loss; and there is worming, especially in the first third of the book, resulting in some minor loss of text and a short track across one plate. Many of the pages and some of the plates are evenly tanned. On the plus side, text and plates are complete; there is no foxing and the sewing is tight. Bound in 19th century full calf with red spine labels. Both boards detached but present. An acceptable copy that could shine again with a little restoration work
