There is a crack to the front joint of approx 3 inches - the board remains securely bound but will need handling with care to avoid further damage. There is also a crack to order the lower rear joint of approx 1 inch, though again the binding remains tight. Blue/grey endpapers in clean condition. Small ink inscription to the front free endpaper. Some minor foxing mainly to the prelims. All edges gilt. The pages are clean with some age toning, though nothing significant.

Overall this is a very striking book which is in good condition.
