Black's Picturesque : Tourist of Scotland 1864 & North Wales 1868 with railways

A pair of antique travel guides detailing scenic spots in Scotland and North Wales with all the Victorian advertisments you might expect, maps - including the enormous map of Scotland in the back pocket (slightly bookwormed) and fold-out in Wales. In good condition these would cost hundreds. But .... Scotland needs careful conservation, the cover is parted from the spine and the big map cries out for Japanese paper - both covers need cleaning - but each is complete and the gold tooling is still there. In restored condition would enhance any library (via Rummij)
