Set is late Victorian. The inscription is dated 1901. The bindings look circa 1890. The set is complete in 15 volumes, with all of the works of Charles Dickens. Bound in the original leather bindings. The bindings are original. Quality paper. The paper is still strong despite the age. Some light browning but higher quality than most sets. The paper is not fragile or brittle as is common in later Victorian printings. Some volumes are illustrated. Early fountain pen ink on the preliminary pages of Bleak House, as shown in the pictures. Set is in very good condition overall. The leather is supple. The hinges are all sound and strongly attached. Some edge rubbing and other external wear. Some uneven spine discoloration and abrasions as shown in the pictures. Oliver Twist is noticeably darker in the shelf and the uneven spine discoloration might be bothersome. Some generalized shelf wear. Some writing. The biggest flaw might be the uneven spine discoloration which might be more bothersome in person especially Oliver Twist. Set is good to very good overall despite the age. Overall an exceptional antiquarian set of Dickens in leather. All external hinges are sound and the leather supple.
