LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
66*Visual Delicacies. Five-volume collection of more than 270 fine vintage engravings from several countries, especially the United States, France, and Great Britain.

Most items are identified by topic, date, and/or engraver and housed in individual sheet protectors. Items are grouped roughly by country of origin or subject matter. Looks to be all-different, and numbered prints were noted. Condition is mixed, with occasional instances of toning, foxing, and small rips or tears, but there are many examples of clean, fresh, sharp printings.
