ITEM DESCRIPTION
Today we are pleased to offer this nicely preserved volume on Charles Dickens by Kate Field!
A great find from a local New England estate!
This scarce antique first edition is over 153 years old!
Originally published in 1868 as a 38 page pamphlet, this is the 1st Edition in book form, enlarged with illustrations. Ex-library.
In good condition overall! Original publisher cloth binding shows some wear, including a library sticker pasted to the front board, a library catalog sticker pasted to the spine, rubbing and soiling to the boards and spine, general wear around the extremities including bumping to the corners and spine extremes, and some rubbing and soiling to the page edges. Binding is also slightly cocked. Otherwise this is an attractive, well-preserved antique volume! Gilt title lettering to the spine displays nicely from the shelf.
Internally, this volume is in good shape as well. Both boards and all page groupings remain attached to the binding (excluding an illustrated plate opposite page 108). This is an ex-library volume with bookplates and library markings visible to the front and rear endpapers and fly pages, as well as the title page and copyright page. Otherwise this volume is clean and free from signatures and inscriptions.
The text block of this volume is clean throughout. There is typical age-related toning to the pages, as well as some light foxing and soiling scattered throughout, and some light creasing in spots, and an illustrated plate opposite page 108 is detached from the binding, but otherwise this volume is clean and free from rips, tears, writing and markings. Perfectly readable throughout!
Nicely illustrated throughout. Make sure to see the additional photos in the description below for a thorough look through this antique tome!
