An attractive six volume set with seventy two coloured plates and sixteen hundred engravings, dating from 1893 to 1896 Half bound with gilt lettering to the spines. Rubbing and wear to edges, corners and spines. Lightly foxed in places and some spotting to the closed page edges. Small piece of leather has come away from the spine of volume 6. Volume 4 has a brown colour spine and either indicates that the green suede has faded or that it is possibly a different binding. Orange end papers. No inscriptions, clean and bright pages throughout. This is a large heavy set and a discussion about additional postage costs will need to be made. (Any digital image available on request).
