Sobre este artículo
Harper & Brothers. ** 1ST U.S. EDITION, 1ST PRINTING, 1848 ** CLOTH-BOUND HARDCOVER ** NOT A LIBRARY BOOK ** TEXT UNMARKED ** ILLUSTRATIONS BY AUTHOR **Published in New York by Harper & Brothers, 1848, with 335 double-columned pages (332 numbered, then ending with 2 unnumbered full-page engraved plates), 4 pages of ads at the end, and with many (32) full-page illustration plates by Thackeray from steel engravings and woodcuts, plus engraved title page and full-page frontis portrait of the author. First U.S. edition often harder to find than the original British first edition. In the original publisher's cloth binding with embossed gilt illustration device on the front above the title, decorative embossed gilt lettering on the spine, all cloth elaborately decorated in blind. The cloth binding is worn along the board edges and at the corners. There is wear and tearing at the spine ends, and a tear to the cloth along the front spine edge from the bottom up about ¾ of the way to the top. The book is square and straight, and remains firm in its binding. The interior hinges are sound and undamaged front and rear, the corners are worn but have not been bumped. A gathering of pages near the center of the book stands a bit proud, but remain firmly attached, and one plate has become partially detached causing a bit of extra wear to the page edge. The pages are clean and stain-free, lightly age-toned, but very little foxing present. All text and illustrations are sharp and legible. There is a previous owner's name on the blank front paste-down, but no other writing, underlining, highlighting, or other such markings in the book.
