Covers are worn and rubbed, particularly to spines. Bindings sound, with slight splits to external joints of Vol.2, and two pages partly loose in vol.1. Top page edges darkened. No ownership inscriptions. The maps are in very good condition, with some browning, and offsetting to adjacent leaves. Frontispiece map of Vol.1 has tear along centre fold for approx 7cm without loss otherwise the maps are in lovely condition. Variable brown toning to main pages of both volumes, some foxing & browning in Vol.1 which is usually on pages facing or backing the folded maps.In spite of these faults I stiil believe these to be in very good condition.
