The interior is clean throughout with no inscriptions or labels and there is no creasing to the spine. There is a trace of foxing/browning to text block edges. The pictorial wraps display only light surface/edge-wear and a small nudge to tip of spine - overall remaining highly presentable. Please see five pictures attached for a closer look.
