Sobre este artículo
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1886. First Edition. Very near fine in its original decorated, cloth covered boards with gilt text with red, silver and tan designs on the spine and with black text and gilt and red designs on the front board. An octavo of 8 1/4 by 6 1/2 inches very shallow closed tears to the cloth at the head and heel of the spine and with rubbing to the cloth over the tips of the boards. The front and rear hinges have started, but remain holding as the joints are strong and tight. The contents are extremely clean and bright with no tanning or foxing. This copy is contained within beautiful, felt-lined chemise which slips into a slipcase of 1/2 red morocco and red cloth covered boards. The spine end of the slipcase has five raised bands with gilt text in three of the compartments. 209 pages of text followed by 12 pages of illustrated ads by the publisher. The book is illustrated with a frontispiece from an engraving by Reginald Birch and numerous plates from engravings and vignettes. First Issue with DeVinne Press imprint on page 210.
Sinopsis
Little Lord Fauntleroy is the first children's novel written by English–American playwright and author Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is a classic 'rags-to-riches' story, and was originally published as a serial in the St. Nicholas Magazine between November 1885 and October 1886, then as a book by Scribner's in 1886. The accompanying illustrations by Reginald Birch set fashion trends and Little Lord Fauntleroy also set a precedent in copyright law when in 1888 its author won a lawsuit against E. V. Seebohm over the rights to theatrical adaptations of the work.-
