The Works of William Makepeace Thackeray in Thirteen Volumes, Biographical Edition (13 of 13 volumes)

New York: Harper & Brothers, 1898. Published between 1898 and 1903, this handsome set includes ALL 13 volumes that comprise Thackeray's complete works and are listed below. The books are in Very Good+ condition (click on photo) and are bound in dark blue cloth, with decorative front and rear panels, gilt spine lettering, and top-edge gilt. The books show some light shelf wear; several volumes have rubbing at the spine tips. The books are firmly bound, with clean, bright text pages. A number of volumes have uncut pages and were apparently never read. Each volume includes a frontis illustration with tissue guards, and other illustrations, full-page and vignette, throughout text. With the exception of some portraits of Thackeray, the drawings are the delightful, original work of the author himself. The Biographical Edition was edited by Thackeray's daughter, Anne Thackeray Ritchie. The books are clean with no signatures of former owners.
