Toilers of the Sea by Victor Hugo.  In two volumes published by George Routledge and Sons, London, 1888.  Very good books, no dust jackets.  First thus English editions. Olive drab cloth covered boards with paper labels on spines, much of the label on Vol. I is chipped off.  Edges and corners at head and tail of board spine are crimped, with rub throughs on corners and points.  Fore-edge corner tips are scuffed but not rubbed through.  External page edges are age-darkened and untrimmed.  Boards are somewhat soiled overall, more so along the fore-edges.  Numerous b&w illustrations by Hugo, F. Chifflart and D. Vierge.  A few internal smudges else text is internally clean.  Several of the pages were roughly opened along the upper edge, resulting in uneven edges as shown in photos.  Text is separated at pp. 112-113 in Vol I and pp. 104-105 in Vol. II, text blocks are solid in spite of that.
