About This Item
London and New York : Macmillan and Co., Limited, 1897 A very good copy of the first Macmillan edition with Hugh Thomson illustrations. In the original red decorative cloth binding with gilt page edges and decorative yellow endpapers. The binding has intricate gilt decoration to the spine and front board which was designed by Turbayne. It is in very good clean condition. The front board is very bright with some turning to corners. There is some pulling to spine ends and some scuffing on the pulled areas. The back board is bright with some turning to the bottom corner. All page edges gilted. The decorative endpapers are clean - there is slight spotting on the rear endpapers. Contents are complete, clean and in near fine condition. The tissue guard to the frontispiece is browned and looks to have offset to the title which also has some browning. There is a small crease to the corner tip of p 97/8 and a slight brown mark at the bottom edge of the gutter on p 362/3.
