Descrizione

Very early printing, just two years after the first. with 14 impressive color plates by N.C. Wyeth, additional drawings within text, illustrated endpapers and front cover pastedown. 8vo, original black cloth lettered in gilt on spine, color pictorial paste-down on the upper cover and with pictorial endpapers. 493, ad. A well preserved copy, the hinges strong, the text and illustrations clean and bright, fading to the gilt lettering of the spine panel.

Edizione: one of the more difficult to find scribner’s illustrated classics. wyeth’s drawings capture the spirit of verne’s adventure story fantastically. although far more then a “follow up” to twenty thousand leagues under the sea, this story does feature the return of capt. nemo and his fabulous submarine ‘nautilus’.
