Paper is gently toned, still clean internally. Very nice plates with lovely images. Rare suite of early 20th century art nouveau advertising plates.

Please review photos for more detail showing how this rare portfolio survives. The asking price reflects the condition based on our examination and 35+ years full time exposure to antiquarian books, maps and printed ephemera of all types and genres. Flaws seen and/ or described have been taken into account. Nicer in person than on the screen- digital doesn't capture the pleasing subtle finish of the plates.
