The binding is in excellent condition with no warping having been housed in it's original, now slightly frayed, felt lined cloth case. There is some foxing, particularly to the first few pages and to the verso of the plates. The vellum itself is very slightly spotted but this is still an exceptionally nice example of this style of binding.
