Details- Title: George Washington Author: Worthington Chauncey Ford Edition: First Edition thus, Limited "Edition de Bibliophile".

Publisher and Location: Goupil and Co. of Paris / (Manzi, Joyant and Co., Successors, New York); Charles Scribner's Sons Year of Publication: 1900 Weight: 8.0 lbs. (Approximate total weight for the two-volume quarto set). Condition: The text blocks and internal pages are in very good condition. The internal plates remain sharp with distinct platemarks, and the paper text pages are clean with expected age-toning along the uncut deckled edges. The exterior bindings are in good, structurally sound condition, but show visible cosmetic shelf wear. The vellum spines and corners have experienced significant environmental toning, surface soiling, and foxing over the last century, turning the vellum from its original creamy white to a mottled tan and brown color. The gold gilt on the spines remains legible but is somewhat muted. The blue-green cloth boards show light scuffing and faint water-spotting/fading near the edges. Both volumes remain firmly bound. PC1224NCC. Various historical artists; includes facsimiles of original portraits and documents (illustrator).
