About This Item
1875 hardcover as pictured. This beautiful small volume was part of a multivolume Dicken's set. It is in fairly good condition given its age. Three quarter bound in marbled paper and tan leather with gold stamping. Spine with raised bands, black and red stamped paste on labels and head/tail bands. Binding is firm. Marbled boards are lightly rubbed. Leather is scuffed in a few places. Leather spine is age tanned and dry with a few small cracks. Marbled endpapers and edges of text block. Text is age tanned but appears otherwise clean and unmarked. Unfortunately, the frontispiece has been removed but the remaining eleven illustrations with tissue guards remain. We have several other volumes from the Carleton's New Illustrated Edition set in our Biblio store. These are listed by title. Your purchase helps support our small village library. s OB2
