About This Item
London: Sampson Low, Marston & Company. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1900. Unknown - Early UK Edition. Hardcover. EARLY EDITION in English. In the Publisher's original dark green cloth-bound boards with bright gilt titling and black stamped illustration to both spine and front cover. Some light marks, mainly to the rear board but overall the book presents VERY well. NO Date shown but first published French in 1889 and in English in 1890/91 in approximately the same format and also lavishly illustrated by M. Roux. The former owners names and date ('03) in old ink on the reverse of the front free endpaper. So this edition is probably circa 1895/1903. Page fore-edges lightly age 'toned', but generally very clean - Good paper. Yellow endpapers - with a small loss to the foot of the rear free endpaper where the pages had stuck together at some point in the past. (4) + 143 pp + 3 (printers info + blanks). With a full page b/w frontispiece and 29 other full page b/w engraved plates by Roux. (30 in all). Very clean, tight and bright. "This is the third and last novel of the Baltimore Gun Club, first appearing in From the Earth to the Moon, and later in Around the Moon, featuring the same characters but set twenty years later." .
