The Works of Tobias Smollett [12 volumes]
Archibald Constable and Co. / Charles Scribner's Sons, 1899. First Edition. Leather Binding. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Very Good / No Jacket. Item #00522246
12 volumnes, complete. A stunning set, bound in lustrous period 3/4 polished dark brown Levant morrocco over marbled boards by the Adams Bindery, spines with raised bands and gilt decorative tooling with Classically-inspired motifs, covers bordred in gilt, top edges gilt, other edges uncut. With one exception, this is an essentially flawless set - but the exception is that Volume I is a mismatched binding of the same period, dark 3/4 green crushed morocco by Stikeman & Co. for Scribner's, spine with raised bands and gilt floral tooling, top edge gilt (this mismatched volume has some rubbing).
