Box has a brand-new, blind-stamped pasted-on title label. No text, just page after page of beautiful, intricate furniture drawings. Ink inscription and doodles on verso of title page and last page. Interior is aged, soiled, stained, wormed, and has occasional pencil sketches which do not affect the plates. For a book of this age, it's in good condition. Good.
