Tall folio. Covers are a little worn at edges, with lettering dull. Ribbon tie is creased and fraying at edges. Internally a little spotting and light toning to endpapers, with a few small ink marks on rear, lower flap. The plates show a few mild signs of figuring and one has a crease along one edge (not affecting image).
