In den WarenkorbRoughly nine and a half inches by fifteen wide. Mounted on a piece of card, with some fraying to extremities. Somewhat aged, but a good impression of a strong, striking idealised illustration, showing a bearded warrior with a club, emerging from the undergrowth beside a tree and fast-flowing water, beside which four women (one o…f them baring a breast) recline with their children.

In den WarenkorbHalf Leather. Zustand: Good. [Lacking all the folding maps and charts]. Six volumes, octavo, pp 2242, (4), generally age-toned throughout, lacking most of page 1445/6, a cracked hinge with weakness in volume two, a few pages lacking small marginal pieces, but otherwise surprisingly sound throughout, with 126 (of 129 ?) engraved…plates, three plates repaired (one with slight loss), bound in a very simple and unsophiticated half calf and marbled boards, rather dull, the spines un-lettered apart from numerals, chipped and with slight loss. The binding is a little tight, and whereas the text is easily read, the titles of some plates are hidden, though there is a binding list with titles at the rear of the last volume. Despite some condition faults this a curiously satisfying and unassuming set.
