An absolute treasure-trove of terrific prints, and this volume is in much better condition than most. Having been a dealer in this (and other) titles for over 34 years we have handled hundreds of these bound volumes. These are among the nicest & cleanest prints we have seen.

Two-color full page prints: "Morning" & "Evening"; two color map of: "The Seat Of War",  and also: "Dead Stags" is a doublepage.

There are two beautiful full page color prints : "Views In The Highlands" with 5 images; "Views in the Isle of Wight" with 5 images (note water stain in lower corner)

Contains 638 pages, three-quarter leather bindings with both boards present but loose, a red label on the spine with gold inking. Binding show some expected wear. The interior pages are in very nice & very clean condition and I did not notice any disfigurements.
