Description
For sale is a set of four volumes of the 1911 edition of the Illustrerad Svensk Litteraturhistoria by Warburg & Schuck in 3/4 leather fine binding. This is the second edition and is incomplete (two volumes are missing). Also included is a clipping about the passing of one of the authors from a Swedish newspaper from 1918 that was stored in one of the volumes. Beautifully bound these are richly decorated and contain a number of interesting fold-outs. These measure about 7" by about 9 1/2". Good antique condition as shown with some rubbing to covers and some wear to edges/corners. Some color fading to spines. Hinges are very well preserved and still supple. Name in flyleaf that has created some staining to the early pages in each volume as shown. Pages otherwise very good. Most of the fold-outs have small tears near their points of attachment, otherwise in good shape. Please see pictures for the best sense of condition and let me know if you have any questions prior to purchase.
