The interior paper has foxing throughout, light to moderate in most areas, which is typical for books of this period and paper stock. The text block is structurally sound and the illustrations, including the genealogical chart and full-page scenes, are all present and legible. A solid antique copy with good shelf presence and expected age-related character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51111533445398,"sku":"AMD-02862","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Drews_books_3.17-4712.jpg?v=1773860716","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/napoleon-bonaparte-1894-green","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
