About This Item
25 vols of 36 total. Bound in original publishers boards, with uncut margins. Spine paper mostly missing. Some labels are foxed, but most labels are mostly readable. A few of the Publishers boards are loose. The pages are made with hand laid paper, so very few pages show aging. Has 352 full plate engravings listed. Free shipping.
Vol. 1-part 1, v2-pt1, v2-pt2, v3-pt1, v3-pt2, v4-pt1, v5-pt2, v7-pt1, v7-pt2, v8-pt1, v8-pt2, v9-pt1, v9-pt2, v10-pt1, v11-pt1, v11-pt2, v12-pt1, v12-pt2, v13-pt1, v13-pt2, v14-pt2, v15-pt1, v15-pt2, v16-pt2, v18-pt1
An extra folder has 23 full plate engravings that have been removed, plus 10 maps of continents and nations, Africa being a fold-out. An owner appears to have intended to sell these engraving separately, but included in the maps are two fold-out world maps that are so early that California is still shown as a peninsula - see pictures. This is an excellent indication that very few, if any, of the 352 listed engravings are missing. The 25 volumes have the original publishers binding, so these engravings and maps can be looked up alphabetically and placed where they belong.
