Most complete version of this volume I have handled. 63 full plates. I'm not absolutely certain if this is complete. It is close if it is not.
I believe these can be considered "Supplements". They are blank backed. These are not the plates cut out of the Boxiana books, but larger, higher quality versions put out in this volume, I believe for individual display purposes.
These should be considered copper-plate engravings.
Several full fight poses towards the front of the book, I have not seen before.
Looks like original covers, though there is some splitting in the spine. First couple and last couple pages in the volume are rough.
Many of the plates are pretty clean but a lot of them exhibit various degrees of soiling, damp-staining, etc... pictures below are a good example of general condition.
Thanks.
