The plates include views, maps, and plans; they were bound in following the table of contents and list of plates in each volume, rather than facing the specified pages of text. Former owner's inscription at head of each title page: Frank Tayler July 1886. Tayler erased the name of the previous owner, which can faintly be seen under his name. In Near Fine- Condition: paper starting to separate over some joints, with slight loss of paper at joints and at head of spines; otherwise a clean and crisp set of this wonderfully illustrated guide to London.
