Descrizione

First Edition, First Issue, both pp. 89 and 97 with the red blots. Decorated on the rectos throughout with 500 illustrations by Gustave Dor? cut onto woodblocks by Sotain. Folio, 278 x 195 mm., contemporary French brown marbled paper over boards, the spine panel of cloth with the marbled paper overlaying, spine label with lettering and decoration in gilt, all original and as issued. 207, [1] pp. An unusually well preserved copy of a very rare book. Some rubbing to the marbled paper overlay at the hinges, some typical edgewear primarily from shelving, a bit of wear at the corners, the text-block clean and crisp as can possibly be expected, very little of the typical browning or spotting, hinges tight and strong, essentially a fine copy of this unusual work.
