    Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Two books: Volume I & Volume II, both books are bound in a faded brown cloth. Both books are hardbacks, with gilt decoration in the form of a square on front boards and gilt titles on the spines. No dust jackets. Both books are in reasonably good condition and as they are used books, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. Some spotting and brown marks to edge of hand cut pages, fading to spines from sunlight, corners slightly bumped, otherwise all pages intact and for their age, in my humble opinion, they are in good condition. 332 pages in Volume I and 404 pages in Volume II. Published and Printed in Great Britain in 1906 by Henry F. Bumpus and printed by Richard Clay & Sons Ltd, London & Bungay. Please note as these two books are a good, heavy size postage/shipping abroad may increase in price from listed postage/shipping price, depending on final destination. Some wonderful illustrations & engravings throughout both volumes, depicting love, laughter and merriment in a period of time that was quite promiscuous.…
