1895-1903 Boxed Set of The Poetical Works of Alfred Lord Tennyson

This is a beautiful set of The Poetical Works of Alfred Lord Tennyson, presented in the original publishers red case with gilt titling to the top. 
The case is in good, solid condition. The original red cloth covering the box has faded more in some places than others. There are marks and signs of wear and tear, but these all add to its vintage charm. 
Internally there are 12 volumes. Size small 8vos.
Each volume is bound in original red cloth, with gilt lettering to spine and gilt decorated initials A T to front boards. 
Published in New York, Macmillan & Co. between 1895-1903.                       
Including, ‘The Idylls of the King’, ‘Locksley Hall’, ‘Enoch Arden’, ‘Juvenilia’, 'Lady of Shalott' ‘The Lover’s Tale’, ‘In Memoriam’, ‘Maud’, ‘Demeter’, ‘The Princess’, ‘The Voyage of Maeldune’. 
There is some red staining to the early pages of these books, as shown in the images. It appears to have come from the covers. The Lady of Shalott has an ink inscription on the front flyleaf, as shown in image, and two/three early pages are loose. 
Overall this is a beautiful set and would be a lovely gift for any fan of Tennyson.
