Old bindings uniform in half-black leather, boards of marbled paper, spines adorned and gilt-titled. Overall showing normal signs of use and age: rubbing to the bindings, some foxing and small marks inside. The large folding plates are particularly interesting and well preserved overall, with their original folds.
