Tan glazed full calfskin binding, one rubbed and slightly open corner,
the covers are acceptable, a snag on the headcap, 2 joints are lightly
cracked over about 2 and 3 cm, adorned spine with five raised bands with a garnet morocco title label, gilded triple fillets and fleurons in the corners of the covers,
gilded fillet roll on the cover edges. Sound binding and well-holding bookblock, fresh inside and text in good condition, no soiling, I noted one spot of foxing on page 137, handwritten notes on the title page.
Lovely period binding.
