One quarter leather binding with red plus gold stamping and embossing and boards covered with marbelized paper

This elegant sixteen-volume set of the Victorian sage who had already become a classic in his lifetime had a leather spine and corners but used matching marbelized paper both for the cardboard covers and endpapers [GPL].
