Please see photos for more information. Complete issue of 16 pages. This issue was previously bound, preserving the pages within for over 160 years. I have included photos of every page so you can see the quality of the paper and illustrations. The paper is sturdy and strong. There is some brown staining on the front page, please see photo. The rest of the pages show some light shadowing that seems to come through from the opposite side of the page, possibly a printing artifact. The centerfold has four pinholes along the center crease due to binding. The pinholes are at most the size of a BB. Stored safely in a clear, plastic, acid-free sleeve with one end open.
