Description
London: Elkin Mathews and John Lane at the Sign of the Bodley Head. Printed by T. and A. Constable, Edinburgh, 1893. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good Minus. 8vo. 21.5 by 16 cm. 8.5 by 6.25 inches. [18], 132, 14, [2] pp. With publisher's list of books in the back. In this first edition, apparently only 500 copies were printed! The pages are heavily toned, per the norm for the paper stock, but clean otherwise. The binding is tight. A few uncut leaves in the advertisement section. FEP with small ornamental bookplate pastedown of "Carroll Atwood Wilson", who was a well-known book collector of his day as well as a lawyer and chief legal counsel to the Guggenheims. The publisher's peach-colored cloth has some blistering on the boards. Along the edges there are long narrow spots in which the color is washed out. The spine has been rebacked with most of the original spine mounted thereon, with a small loss of the gilt lettering transpiring. The resulting spine also has small dark spots, and one is likely not to find it prepossessing.
