About This Item
[NOTE: In his Bibliography of Trollope's works, Sadlier describes this Set as a "...partial Collected Edition...including at least a page or two of matter not elsewhere published, and containing illustrations specially designed - which merits record in a complete bibliography of Trollope's first editions.
A number of hinges (8 of the 26 hinges in the set) are cracked/broken open, and all of these are shown in the images posted with this set's listing on this seller's own Allington Books site. Each volume has a tissue-guarded frontispiece lettered in red and declaring the illustration shown. [The Volumes are otherwise unillustrated.] Examples of this set, which precedes the Shakespeare Head editions of these" Barsetshire Chronicles [published in fourteen (14) volumes -- due to the inclusion of Trollope's Autobiography -- in 1929] and is of an edition more limited than that of the Shakespeare head editions, are, in our experience, QUITE SCARCE. Complete sets are increasingly difficult to find and complete sets of all the volumes with common ownership [as opposed to sets of later compilation] are now INDEED QUITE DIFFICULT TO FIND on the market. NOTABLY, WE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER SET OF THE EITHER OF THE CHAPMAN & HALL PRINTINGS IN COMMON OWNERSHIP.
[PLEASE NOTE: This is a large and heavy set and the Buyer's postage cost will exceed that quoted by this site.]
