The familiar Murray's format similar to the Baedeker formula 7x4.5 inch semi-flexible red cloth boards gilt-titled. This copy was given a lot of use by one Edith Howell Perkins datelining "Berlin Oct. 1890".

Her copy's spine panel is badly sunned with titling near illegible the head is pulled a half-inch at both joints expect general edgewear both hinges are expertly reinforced with white paper tape both feel sound to our touch as is the large folded map of Russia which didn't need it in rear pocket both hinges feel sound. Sounds like a mess but isn't: the textblock is square and tight the hinges really are "repaired" the small folded maps are all unmolested the endpocket map unfolds clean and sound and re-folds without problems: a good well good-only copy.

The authors also describe the workshops of the monastery ovelaterizi metal glass enamel ivory and bells objects were produced for the monastery's exiles.
