Description

Two voulme set bound in two-toned cloth with white spine over redish boards. Spines lettered in gold and covers bear decorative gilt embossing. Top edges gilt. Endpapers toned and paper on inner hinges cracked, though hinges are quite sound. Both volumes illustrated with full page photogravure plates complete with tissue guardes, [vol. I 27 plates]; [vol. II 24 plates]. Publishers advertisement and Introductory Note by George Parsons Lathrop in vol. I. No name, no book-plate, etc. A very nice set with mild darkening to white spine cloth and minor shelf wear, but overall a superior set of the American classic.
