The book is in Good - Condition. It has burgundy cloth covers with gilt decorative elements on the front panel and gilt spine lettering, plus top-edge gilt.

There is a penciled signature and design by the original owner on the front end paper. The text pages have an occasional small margin stains but are generally free of foxing. There is some foxing on the illustrated title page, however, due to the original foxed tissue guard, still present.
