Description
This is the complete set,stated as such at the end of volume 17, of the stated First Edition, published by les frères Cramer in 1757, of the "Collection Complette des Oeuvres de M. de Voltaire" (382, 418, 328, 400, 351, 396, 446, 428, 403, 468, 399, 380, 391, 328, 335, 308 & 320 pages). These are bound in full tortoiseshell leather covers, which have extensive giltwork on the spines, all of which are securely attached, with no looseness to any front or back boards. The titles and volume numbers, gilt in red backgrounds, have some fade, but they are legible. There is minor edge wear and there are occasional scuffs, but no prominent stains or notable tears. The pages have a number of flaws, but are in very good condition overall. Several end pages have foxing and/or other stains, and there is some sunning to text pages. Most have none. The marbled page edges are uniformly clean and unfaded, as are the marbled inside cover spreads. There are no stamps or other attachments, there or elsewhere. The text is clean and unfaded throughout the set, with all lettering, and the occasional engravings and drawings, clearly legible. There are few tears, none of which are substantial. There are occasional corner creases, but, again, most pages have none. The frontispiece portrait of Voltaire, in Volume I, is in very good condition (see photo)
