This is an antique 1901 set of The Works of Voltaire with St. Hubert's Guild bindings. The set includes Volume XI Essays and Volume V The Philosophical Dictionary, Fanaticism-Gregory VII. The books are gorgeously bound in tooled red leather with gold floral and geometric motifs as well as a central colored motif. The spines are also lettered and decorated in gold. The top pages edges are gilded. Both books have dark brown satin grosgrain endpapers. Both books have a black and white portrait plate and a full color illustrated title page. Both have textured paper similar to rag paper with rough cut edges. Both have 3 more illustration plates, some in black and white and some in color. Volume XI has 286 pages. Volume V has 336 pages.
Both books are in excellent antique condition for their age and use. Volume V has some small scratches to the spine and the gold letters M H on the front have faded. Otherwise, the gold lettering and decoration on both books is intact and bright. The covers are attached at the spine. The gilt page ends are still shiny. Volume XI has an inserted bookmark on how to open a book. The pages are beginning to yellow.
The books measure 8.5 by 5.75 inches. Volume XI is 1.25 inches thick. Volume V is 1.5 inches thick.
