The issue was previously bound protecting the pages within for over 150 years. There is a little staining along the edges but the text and illustrations are generally clean (see photos). The centerfold is tipped so there is no damage along the center seam. Page 245-6 is torn along the bottom 1/4 and is missing (I have included photos of both sides). Otherwise, all illustrations are in very good condition. Issue is stored in a clear, plastic, acid-free sleeve with one end open.
