These two volume hardback books are in reasonably good condition, considering their age. Normal wear, tear and marks apply consistent with use and age. Both books are quarter black leather bound, along with corners. Gilt title on spine across dark red backgound. Black patterned cloth covering. Vol: I. Mammalin and Birds, Vol II: Reptiles, Fishes, Mollusca and Insects. Some foxing, shelf-life wear, cover corners and some leather worn. Volume I has title and index pages seperated from binding (loose) however they may never have been binded as they both are larger pages than other tight binded pages in the book. 400 pages (plus title and index pages) in this volume I, all pages (except page 5/6 is torn), text and illustrations are in good, readable order. Volume II has 432 pages (page 23 slightly loose from binding) otherwise all other pages intact, text, and illustrations in good, readable order. No published date, but would assume probably published around mid 19th century from 1850 onwards. Both books are just amazing works of art, very comprehensive, detailed and extremly well put together, a life's work. Please note these are a large pair of books and therefore postage/shipping may increase from listed price, depending on final destination. Both books will be boxed packaged with appropiate packing for a safe and secure journey. I have taken a few photos of the books, if you require more photographs prior to purchase please message accordingly. Gorgeous pair of books that are both worth preserving for future generations and in my humble opinion works of art.…
