Overall this handsome set is in good condition. The books have leather spines and corners. The spines have been professionally redone in full calf with raised bands and gilt tooling and titling. Marbled boards, which are quite heavily scuffed. The leather corners are worn, with loss in some cases. Internally there are some ownership marks. The endpapers appear to have been replaced at some point. The pages have some reading wear and are tanned with age with foxing that is heavy in places. There are some minor losses to the pages in places. The first three books have fold-out maps in the backs.
