Externally: mostly minor general wear and moderate soil. Both boards bow slightly and, in addition, both bottom edges rubbed severely near the spine (an inch of a chiseled effect, pages and pastedowns not affected, so perhaps a print shop binding imperfection). Hinges fine, 2 names in ink to RFEP, otherwise clean internally with one small tear to an upper corner. Indexed work contains a few photos and drawings. Swiss-born Sutter began his career in 1823 entering the French service as an officer of the Swiss Guard. Good.
