The fisrt end sheet is completely loose at this point. Pastedowns and endsheets are quite foxed and the interior varies from almost no foxing to rather notably so.

The apparently hand tinted illustration are fascinating and while some foxing is present. hopefully it will not worsen with good storage and it does seem wholly age appropriate. Louis A.
