Half-leather bound with marbled plates and leather spine (5 volumes). Light wear on the hinges but otherwise in very good condition. Complete with all engravings. 82 p. text with an introduction by Professor J. Stecher of Ghent University and dedicated to the city of Ghent. At the end there is a section included with 35 engravings (coats of arms; medals; military and civil attire,...) printed on sturdy paper. A number of engravings are colored.
