About This Item
London: The Ray Society, 1925 A very good to near fine set in the original Ray Society cloth bindings with 60 plates of which 18 are coloured or partly coloured. Vol I is inscribed and signed by Chas D Soar at the front free endpaper. The bindings are very bright and clean with slight fading to spines. Light pulling to spine ends. All have small bottom corner tip bumps - in Vol I there is some scuffing to the edge with cloth loss (about 1 cm) just before the bump. Vol I has a small dent to the side edge of the front board. Vol I issued 1925, Vol II 1927, and Vol III 1929. The contents of all are complete and very clean. There is brown toning to free endpapers. The Ray Society publication notes at the rear of each volume are largely unopened.
