1st front cover: restorations with color on the front of the book. Top corner, letter O from Congo,. . .
with small printed image in very good condition, reasonably well luminous, significant rubbing in the upper right corner of the front cover
Back cover fairly fresh, no rubbing but some rubbish lightly scattered
Almost sharp square corners
Red back, very complete and problem-free, red remained super fresh. 100% original. Almost flawless caps
Very slightly scuffed edges
Dark blue endpapers not cracked and virtually intact
Inside in near very good 4 beautiful HT, some light normative wear to this fragile paper on the corners of certain pages, two, three pages had a small tear that was professionally stopped, excellent state of conservation, intense and admirable ink work. An album that is little read!
Complete - very compact album
Beautiful copy of this album, the only real weak point being the condition of the front cover
