Three large octavo volumes (9 7/8 x 6 5/16 inches; 25.1 x 16.1 cm.). Extra-illustrated books are published texts that have been made into a unique copy by a former owner through the permanent addition of prints, autographs, letters, etc. Typically, the additions are mounted on additional leaves, and the book is rebound to accommodate its increased thickness. Extra illustrations primarily serve as visual and verbal annotations to a text rather than decoration: the extra-illustrator identifies significant people, places, and things mentioned in the book (even if only mentioned in passing), collects related material, and adds it in the appropriate spot. Wood-engraved tail-piece vignettes. Original spines decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, top edges gilt, marbled endpapers.
