002783Paris: Charavay Martoux the first two works. Charavay Martin the third work. Edouard Crete printer. Half Morocco Marbled Boards. Good. Folio 14 by 11.5 inches 36 by 30 cm. N.d. circa 1900. Rebacked with the original morocco spine mounted onto skiver. The skiver though being a different shade of red is conspicuous along the entire front joint and at the lower end in particular the reattachment looks clumsy. The leather of the spine has heavily rubbed with dry chipping at the extremities. The leaves within are heavily age toned and a bit brittle with some marginal chipping. A few tape repairs. The leaves of the three volumes are not exactly even and so this comes off similar to many a sammelbund. Still excellent value for two antique French juvenile classics. <br/><br/> Charavay, Martoux (the first two works). Charavay, Martin (the third work). Edouard Crete, printer. hardcover books
