A large contemporary signature and address on each half-title, a little occasional foxing, there is a little staining and abrasion towards the bottom of each cover; internally there are signs of some damp damage - the pages of Volumes 1 & 2 are a little waved and wrinkled towards the bottom, and with some staining (see image) - I would not describe this as too offensive, though it is a shame in what is a very luxurious book; Volume 3 is not really affected. A heavy set - extra postage will be needed. [One of the largest and most attractive of the late-Victorian fern books.]. First Edition. Cloth. Good.
