Very thin to medium-weight calf, carefully selected and prepared; occasional flaws and repairs at fore-edge; flyleaves and pastedowns show signs of wormhole damage
Brown calfskin over wooden boards (probably oak) with wide, shallow exterior chamfer and tongue corners; re-backed and re-edged at fore-corners ca. 1900; sewn on five slit-tawed straps; covers tooled in blind, four-fillet double frame filled by intersecting four-fillet lines that create lozenges and triangles with five-point stars in each; endbands are of pink silk with an edge-bead around a cord (?) core and are contemporary with the re-backing; edges are undecorated; single catch-and-clasp fastening originally centered at the fore-edge, but holes have been patched
