Book Description

London: Edward Moxon, 1857.. xiii,[3],375,[1]pp. Small quarto. Portrait and 54 woodcut vignettes. Full medium red-brown morocco, raised bands, elaborately gilt extra, with delicate inlays of black, green and tan morocco as corner pieces and compartment devices, a.e.g., for R. Grant & Son of Edinburgh. Spine extremities a bit rubbed, some dark flecks to upper board, much less than the usual foxing to prelims and endleaves; a handsome copy. First edition thus. The now celebrated illustrated edition published by Moxon to some controversy and only marginal economic success, commingling work by traditional illustrators with work by members of the Pre- Raphaelite Brotherhood, including Millais, Rossetti, Hunt and Stanfield, engraved by the Dalziel Bros., William Linton, and others. RAY (ILLUSTRATOR AND THE BOOK IN ENGLAND), 148. TINKER 2076. ASHLEY VII:114. FREDEMAN 90.3.
