Overall a very nice copy. The leather is well worn along the exterior hinges and moderately so on the corners. On the interior, though the paper is cracked, the hinges are quite sound. There are no internal markings.The fold-out is present and attached with a little of the top portion being unsecured. It is in good shape with a couple of creases, a small tear on the bottom part at one of the folds, and a tear at the top of one panel that has been secured on the back side with some paper that has print on it. On the whole, this is an 1874 1st edition copy with all 1st issue points except the rare repeated lines, and it is in nice condition.
