Antique Books: Kays Original Portraits 2 Volume set (PART 2)

PART 2 of a 2 part listing- not available for sale separately. Published in 1877, this two-volume set claims to be the final printing using the original John Kay etchings. Filled with interesting miniature etchings and humorous explanations, these books are a fascinating collectors item (or conversation piece, if your coffee table will support their weight)! Overall both volumes are in good condition. Etchings have their original protective tissue sheets and the illustrations maintain a slight indentation from the printing process.  Pages show slight discoloration toward the edges. PLEASE NOTE:  due to the weight of these books, they are listed in two parts. BOTH must be purchased. Feel free to make an offer if you're interested, or ask any questions!
