Very Good. 8vo. 26 by 16.5 cm. 36 pp., followed by 44 hand-colored plates, the first serving as a decorative title to the plate section, and the following 43 being armorial plates, many of which are striking and/or beautiful. Text section with scattered light to moderate foxing, as typical with the paper stock used. Some plates with a trivial amount of light foxing, but plates are generally bright and clean.
