The binder's stamp in gilt appears on the front turn-in. Patterned Victorian style endpapers, hand-sewn silk endbands. Text block edges cleaned and decorated with a fine complementary green sprinkle. Protected in a bespoke parchment-lined slipcase. In fine condition. Interior pages in very good clean condition with just the occasional spot here and there.
