Very Good Antique Condition. The half-leather binding is square, sturdy, and tightly bound. Gilt tooling and lettering on the spine remain bright and clear. Marbled boards show light shelf wear along the edges. Internal pages are sound and legible throughout with minor scattered foxing typical of mid-19th-century French paper stock.
