Full calf, blind stamped and fine gilt detailing to boards and spine. All edges and dentelles gilt. Externally lovely, with just the lightest wear to the corners, boards and spine appearing very smart. Neat ownership bookplate to front pastedown. Binding remains firm. Pages are a touch age-toned, with occasional light spots; plates are age-toned and spotted. 11pp publisher's advertisements at rear. A splendid little gift book.
