About This Item
New York: Dodd Mead and Company, 1875. Book. Good. Decorative Cloth. First American Edition. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. First American Edition. Brown silk with black decoration in blind, gilt titles, all edges stained red. While undated, this edition was originally purchased by the Sturgis Library, one of the oldest institutions in the United States, and bears its hand-numbered and hand-dated (July 27th 1875) bookplate, so we can assume the book was published before that date. Title with red ruling, decorative heads, capitals, tails. A classic tale. Chipping top of spine, fraying to bottom. Library pocket inside rear board. Good condition..
