Publisher's blue cloth, gilt lettered to the spines and upper boards, dust jackets, "Supplements" in plain white printed wrappers, stapled as issued. Profusely illustrated in black and white throughout. Some scuffing and occasional light edge wear to the jackets though they remain sound, a very good set overall.

A monumental reference work for this key stage in the development of European art. Item #36383
