Description
This is a wonderful work in need of restoration. It the the 2-volume set of "The Works of William Hogarth in a Series of One Hundred and Fifty Steel Engravings, By the Original Artists; With Descriptions and a Comment on Their Moral Tendency" by the Rev. John Trusler. Published by The London Printing and Publishing Co., London, undated, circa 1870. Two volumes bound in full leather. This set shows considerable wear and is need of restoration--the text blocks of both volumes has separated from the covers, the front cover of Vol. II has separated from the spine. There is old dampstaining to the first few leaves of Vol. I. Endpapers are loose. The volumes are complete. I will call the set Fair, at best. Books measure 9 X 11 1/8. Copies of this set can be found on other internet booksites for upwards of $3000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Individual volumes sell for upwards of $200 EACH, while the individual engravings in these books are being offered for upward of $16 EACH!!!! I am well aware of the condition issues present and will offer this complete set for only $20.00 plus
