Please see photos for additional information. Complete 16 page issue. Issue was previously bound, storing it nicely for 160+ years. Paper quality is excellent. Paper was made from rag at that time so is very sturdy. Text and illustrations are clean and bright as well as the centerfold. There is very little foxing, as seen in photos. The centerfold has several very small pinholes along the center crease. Issue is stored in an acid-free clear plastic sleeve with one end open.
