Very Good
There is some occasional light browning to the frontis matter and end matter of the text, there is also some old rubbing and scratches to the marbled boards and some edge wear to the text volumes. The plate volume exhibits an old crease and some light foxing to the title page, some age-toning to a few of the plates, some old mars and scratches to the marbled boards; the hand-colored plates are bright and clean. Overall, this 15 volume set is in very good condition.
