Francis is in acceptable condition. • The book’s binding is fragile, with significant damage to the spine, and several pages are loose or barely attached. • The edges of most pages show wear, and there are two small tears on the tops of the first two illustrated pages—one of which was repaired with vintage tape. Both are in the top margins and do not affect legibility or the structural integrity of the pages. • Light staining is present on some margins, though all text and illustrations remain legible and vivid. • Aside from the obvious major structural issues this copy has, the illustrations themselves are clean and in really nice condition. • No illustrations or text are obscured by the wear or staining. • This book is being sold primarily for historical value and rarity. • What remains of this rare book’s binding is in VERY fragile shape and should be expected to have to handle with extreme care. • This book could be secured fairly well, ensuring longevity, with a some strategic pieces of tape along the binding - both outside and inside - however, we leave that up to you to decide, as it affects the integrity and collectibility of the book. • Aside from the spine damage and loose binding, this book contains historical and well preserved illustrations - making this rare 121 year old antiquarian copy well worth preserving!
