Jane Austen/Chris Hammond Pride And Prejudice C1900 Talwin Morris Binding Design
Description
Believed to be the 1900 First Edition with the Chris Hammond illustrations. The black and white plates are dated 1898. This copy has the original publisher's crimson quarter-leather binding with sage green cloth-covered boards. The spine features an Art Nouveau gilt decoration of peacock feathers, designed by Talwin Morris, with gilt lettering.
The sage green endpapers are intact, the front one having a small owners label. At the rear base of the spine, 1.5cm of the leather has separated from its side leather, but is still present. There is some spotting, commensurate with this book's age. The stitching is still tight. Altogether a really nice, clean, odour-free copy with its six crisply produced full-page illustrations.
Approximate measurements - 20.5cm x 14cm x 4cm and weighs 630g.
