The Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson 1876-1879
Size: 122 x 183 mm (approx., each)
Condition:
[viii, pp.1-494]; [vi, pp.1-448]
Uniform near contemporary half calf over marbled boards with matching marbled endpapers and page edges. Spines uniformly sunned with some extremely light rubbing. The volumes show very well indeed on the shelf and are very attractive, retaining the tooled red and green morocco labels which are in fine condition. All joints fine with all boards securely attached. The boards are in notably excellent condition and do not suffer from the usual scuffs etc for similar bindings. No shelf lean. Page edges near fine with top edges dulled as typical. No attached bookplates or ownership inscriptions. Endpapers foxed but very clean and bright through the text blocks. Collated as complete through both volumes including the half titles.
An excellent set.
