George Cavendish was gentleman usher to Cardinal Wolsey from 1522 to 1530. The plates all have tissue guards, but these only cover the central image, resulting in browning / age toning to the outer edges of the plates. Also browning to blank pages at the start and end of each volume. Good to Good+, but a scarce set.
