About This Item
Edinburgh, Scotland: Edmonston and Douglas, 1870. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. Offered despite condition problems because of the scarcity of this edition Quarto, 11 1/4" tall, 21 pages plus 6 full-page b&w illustrations by Jane Blackburn, plus the illustrated title page. This is a fair copy overall with the original beveled pictorial boards quite soiled, scratched, and worn through at all edges; the binding is broken with the back strip missing. The internal condition is good, generally clean, with some light sporadic finger soiling, paper light to moderately yellowed, with signatures still holding to binding. Black and white illustrations are in very good condition, lightly yellowed, with occasional finger marks primarily at the outer margins. Previous owner's signature with the date on the front endpaper.

Avenue Victor Hugo Books specialize in first editions of the best in fiction, history, biography, poetry, drama, and essay. Our catalogue features careful, considered assessments of all of our stock.
