The rust colored cloth has some rubbing, ground-in dirt and spotting. The text pages are mostly clean and bright, but there are spots of foxing throughout. The bottom edge of the pastedowns have portions of toning. There is some tidemarking / foxing to the bottom edges of most text pages. The text of this book is entirely in GERMAN. One page of text in the first volume (page 79-80) has a significant chunk missing by the spine.

The second half of this volume covers the area of machinery and technological innovations -- all of them are entries to various competions at the 1878 Paris World Exposition. (World's Fair) "This exposition was on a far larger scale than any previously held anywhere in the world. It covered over 66 acres (270,000 m2) , the main building in the Champ de Mars and the hill of Chaillot, occupying 54 acres (220,000 m2). The Gare du Champ de Mars was rebuilt with four tracks to receive rail traffic occasioned by the exposition. The Pont d'Iéna linked the two exhibition sites along the central allée. The French exhibits filled one-half of the entire space, with the remaining exhibition space divided among the other nations of the world. Germany was the only major country which was not represented, but there were a few German paintings being exhibited. The United States exhibition was headed by a series of commissioners, which included Pierce M. B. Young, a former United States Congressman and major general in the Confederate States Army, as well as other generals, politicians, and celebrities.". Very Good .
