Item description from seller

Complete 3-Volume Illustrated Folio Set | Longfellow’s Poetical & Prose Works (1879–1883) A monumental achievement in Victorian publishing. This is the expansive "Illustrated Folio Longfellow," a comprehensive collection of the works of America’s most celebrated poet. Unlike common incomplete sets, this offering includes the scarce third volume featuring the prose works and a biographical sketch by Octavius B. Frothingham. Listing Highlights: Bibliographically Complete: Includes Volumes 1 & 2 (Poetry) and the elusive Volume 3 (Complete Prose Works and later poems). Masterpiece Illustrations: Features hundreds of exquisite wood-engravings by the foremost American artists of the "Golden Age," including F.O.C. Darley, Edwin Austin Abbey, and Ernest Wadsworth Longfellow. Grand Victorian Aesthetic: Massive folio format with All Edges Gilt (a.e.g.), designed as a high-end "subscription-only" centerpiece for the 19th-century library. Condition Report: Overall Grade: Very good. Binding: Original Half-Leather over cloth. All volumes are structurally firm. The joints show characteristic Victorian wear: the rear joints of Vols 1 & 2 and the front joint of Vol 3 are beginning to crack but remain holding securely. Vol 2 shows chipping at the head of the spine. Interior: Text blocks are clean with bright, crisp engravings. Note: Some damp staining is present on the bottom edges/corners of all three volumes, and Vol 1 has staining to the front endpapers. [Store Location: 1.7]. …
