Description: The History of the Art of Writing: Manuscripts, Inscriptions, and Monuments Oriental, Classical, Medieval and Modern Very large/heavy folio in 4 volumes, loose pages as issued. 200 Plates. Condition is very good with some wear. There are 50 plates in each volume. All the chapters are present, but every plate was not counted. Spot checking it seems very likely they are all there, possibly some pages out of order. Other wear as expected -- some worn edges, straps loss, etc. but no major damage. There is some foxing/shadows occasionally on text mostly due to illustrations, but the plates themselves look very good. Covers all look similar to the example shown, still very good. This is a very heavy set - all 4 volumes together are nearly 60 lbs. Will need to be shipped in 2 boxes. Size about 21x14", boxes will be 24x18x6”.
