Sobre este artículo
London: James S. Virtue. Full-Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Both volumes: Light scuffing to the fore-corners. Gilt page edges, and gilt spine titles and decoration on morocco covers; marbled endpapers. Light foxing to the early and late pages of the text blocks. The binding is tight and square, and the text is clean; the hinges are remarkably intact for books of this weight; they appear to have never seen much use. No date given, but a light pencil name and date on the front free endpapers indicates 1873 or before. Vol. I: 643 pp. Vol. II: 666 pp. (!). Steel engravings throughout the text, with fold-out maps of Constantinople and the Roman Empire, and views of Rome and modern Alexandria. A very pretty set.
