Descrizione

8vo., with a frontispiece (original tissue guard present) and numerous illustrations (a number full-page) in the text, some mild foxing throughout, neat contemporary signature at head of first chapter; handsomely bound in full red crushed morocco, back gilt with five raised bands, compartments lettered in gilt and tooled with a floral motif, illustration in red, green and black from original cloth cover mounted on blank preliminary, an elegantly bound copy of a mature Victorian printing. With the poem 'Christmas Greetings' and 3pp publisher's catalogue bound in. Macmillan's 'People's Edition' was first published in 1887. The most popular mature Victorian edition (with the numerous typographical and illustrative errors of the earlier editions corrected), it reached its sixty-first thousand by 1897 (see Williams & Madan, p.61). A nice copy despite the (virtually) inevitable foxing.
