The bindings are original
Bound in quality morocco leather bindings. Gilded spines. Raised hubs. The top edges are gilded. Marbled end papers. Printed on quality paper, with wide margins. Large font. Fold outs.
VERY GOOD condition. Supple leather. The hinges are fully attached. Internally, these are very fresh, and appear free of foxing. There is an early bookplate. No writing. Fold out maps are fully intact. This is an exceptional set, produced from the highest quality materials. This set displays beautifully. Francis Parkman (September 16, 1823 November 8, 1893) was an American historian, best known as author of The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky-Mountain Life and his monumental seven-volume France and England in North America. These works are still valued as history and especially as literature, although the biases of his work have met with criticism. He was also a leading horticulturist, briefly a Professor of Horticulture at Harvard University. This set would make an excellent gift and/or addition to any fine library. In addition to their shelf presence, antiquarian books make an excellent investment. We always pack very securely to help ensure safe handling during transit. All books are individually wrapped and are always professionally padded. We offer a full refund guarantee, per our terms described on our site, with notification of such intent requested. Please contact us with any inquiries.
