Belgium & Flemish Printing

12mo., title within woodcut border, first section interleaved with contemporary blank leaves (ýas issued, for notes &c.), contemporary silk endpapers with contemporary vanity mirror within metal frame inset to front pastedown, text-block cleanly separated from binding, contemporary silk binding with elaborate silk brocade decorations and inlaid mother-of-pearl oval centrepiece to each cover, superficial loss to silk at spine and a few other places, but overall a very good example, gilt edges.

5 volumes, small 8vo (16 x 10.5 cm). Original green printed wrappers. Housed in a cream cloth chemise and matching slipcase. Engraved folding map to rear of volume 1. Early gift inscription to half-title of volume 1. Wrappers a little soiled, chipped, and creased, with some staining to front wrapper of volume 5, contents occasionally spotted and foxed, else a very good set.
