Binding with some chips and wear at extremities small bookplate on front pastedown endpaper torn a couple of other pages with minor tears not collated but a couple of issues with a page missing generally the contents seem complete slight aging; otherwise very good.

A couple of pages are missing but the issues seem mostly complete. This volume was put out about ten years after the Illustrated London News began publication in May 1842. It contains some very interesting news and illustrations including an illustration of an 'electric telegraph' in the April12 1845 issue a very young Queen Victoria and Prince Albert engraving at a costume ball in the June 7 1845 issue and a tennis match in the February 1 1845 issue.
