Victoria Edition, complete in two volumes. Illustrated by R. Seymour, R.W. Buss, Hablot K. Browne (“Phiz”), and J. Leech. Limited to 2,000 copies, including 500 with plates printed on India Paper—this set features the plates on thicker card stock rather than India Paper. Includes frontispiece, vignette title page, and 41 additional plates.
Fair Condition. Two volumes in green cloth with gilt titles. Rough-cut edges. Binding is firm and, as is common with this edition, pages show heavy foxing and tanning. Plates are tanned with tissue guards. Hinges are slightly cracked and tender. Ex libris plates to half-title. Neat previous owner’s inscription to endpaper. Boards show moderate wear, with some fraying to spine ends and bumping to corners. Notable wear to rear board of Volume 2. Some markings to boards, as pictured.
