Sobre este artículo
London: Macmillan and Co.,, 1896. Finely bound illustrated copy First fully illustrated edition, issued in "Macmillan's Illustrated Standard Novels". This edition was the first to feature illustrations accompanying the text, as Bentley's 1833 collected edition and subsequent printings contained only a frontispiece and vignette title page. Hugh Thomson was one of the most notable book illustrators of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his illustrations for Jane Austen's novels remain widely regarded as classics in the field. Thomson's "light touch and feeling for period manners provide a charming and accessible gloss to the author's work" (ODNB). Octavo (176 x 117 mm). Finely bound by the Chelsea Bindery in greenish-blue morocco, spine lettered and decorated with centre tool gilt, twin rule to turn-ins gilt, decorative endpapers, gilt edges. With black and white illustrations throughout. Minor foxing to prelims and endmatter. Otherwise a fine copy.
