The spine ends show fraying and wear, and the corners and edges have been rubbed and bumped with general handling. Age toning is present throughout the text block, with light foxing in places, all consistent with a Victorian volume of this age. The decorative cloth remains attractive and the gilt stamping is legible. All engraved plates are present. An honest copy with good character and real age, more suitable for display and reading than for a fine binding collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51091418841366,"sku":"AMD-02840","price":310.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/JuneEnland2026-6027.jpg?v=1783039523","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie-design.myshopify.com\/products\/edward-young-poetical-works-victorian-illustrated","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
