About This Item
London: Lawrence & Bullen, Limited, 1897. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition, first printing, first issue with "Lawrence & Bullen" at base of spine. Near Fine with elaborate gilt design by Althea Gyles incredibly vibrant, slightly tarnished at the edges on the front cover yet still retaining so much of it's original beauty and luster. Light rubbing to cloth at points and rear cover, ding to edge of rear board. Pages lightly toned with an occasional small blemish. A shining and bright example of a beautifully designed book, which tragically is all too often found heavily rubbed and worn. While lesser copies are abundant, one would be hard-pressed to find a nicer copy.
