London: Richard Phillips, 1807. Full Straight-Grained Morocco. Cloth box/slipcase. Fine. With 100 hand-colored copper engraved plates -- most copies of this edition do not have hand-coloring. Bound gorgeously, in full straight-grained red morocco, by Bayntun. With beautiful gilt border decoration, turn-ins, spine compartment decoration, etc. 12mo. 19 by 11 cm. Modern cloth box made to fit the set. Box has surely helped preserve the pristineness of the binding.
