About This Item
A beautiful little edition of Thomas Carlyle's Sartor Resartus, a satirical work presented as a philosophical discourse on the meaning and significance of clothes.
The publisher, the Henry Altemus Company, produced various series of reprints of classic works, each run of which was distinguished by a different beautiful cover. This particular cover is from the third numbering of the Petit Trianon series published from 1899 to 1910.
The book shows some wear to the edges of the boards and particularly to the top and bottom of the spine. The poor condition arises from four pages, including the title page, an illustration, and the table of contents having separated from the binding. Despite these defects, the volume still presents a beautiful appearance, and would be a welcome edition to bring character to one's collection.
