About This Item
New York: McClure, Phillips & Co., 1902. Bound in original decorative green cloth stamped in white and gold. Illustrated with 7 full page plates. State of binding not kn own, as Blanck writes priority is in dispute. Ads list Monsieur Beaucaire on page 1 as "80th thousand", but do not list "70th thousand" on page 3, so that ads are a latter state. T.e.g. A fine, clean copy of Tarkington's third novel. Blanck p.489.. First Edition. Decorative Cloth. Fine/No Jacket. Illus. by Henry Hutt. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
Synopsis
It was long ago in the days when men sighed when they fell in love; when people danced by candle and lamp, and did dance, too, instead of solemnly gliding about; in that mellow time so long ago, when the young were romantic and summer was roses and wine, old Carewe brought his lovely daughter home from the convent to wreck the hearts of the youth of Rouen.
