Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: William T. Amies, [circa 1880s]. Quarto. lvi, 733 pages. Portrait frontispiece. Illustrated throughout with in-text and full-page woodcuts by Gustave Doré (all included in the pagination). Original publisher's pictorial cloth stamped in gilt and black. 28.5 x 22.5 cm. Very good. Short tears to spine ends and head of rear joint; corners worn. The hinges are partially cracked and tender, and the text block has dropped, but both covers are holding fairly well for such a large and heavy volume. The leaves are a trifle age-toned but, aside from a few minor traces of marginal soiling, the volume is clean throughout. A bright and attractive copy. Later edition in a beautiful example of publisher's cloth.
