FINE CONTEMPORARY PARISIAN CITRON MOROCCO GILT, covers with a dentelle design made up of small tools, the most identifiable of which are a lyre tool (repeated twice) and a pair of billing birds within a leafy wreath (at corners and repeated on the spines), the flat spines divided into six compartments, with green and red morocco lettering-pieces in two, the others with a repeat pattern made up from small tools, with the birds at the centre of each compartment, gilt turn-ins, marbled-paper endpapers, modern cloth boxes.
