-------------------
An incomplete set, each volume being the first edition of its respective year. Bound in the original cloth bindings and beautifully illustrated throughout. Do bear in mind that these books are very heavy for their size. The original complete set began in 1890 and proceeded to 1913 and thus constituted 24 volumes, here we have six of those 24.
