Lewis Arundel; Or, The Railroad of Life

Descripción

Frank Smedley was a Victorian novelist and peer of Dickens who wrote primarily for serialization. This is one of his early works. This particular volume has been tightly re-bound with wonderfully tipped in illustrations by PHIZ who also worked for Dickens and other literary lights of the day. The green leather is highlighted by a multi-band of gilt decoration around the edges and motifs in each corner while the spine is a darker brown leather with raised bands and gilt lettering along with matching motifs in each corner. There is some seepage/bleedover of the dye used on the edges into the green primarily on the front. This is the first book edition; previously the Work was serialized in Sharpe s London Magazine . Very Good Condition: 8vo, green leather binding, brown leather spine with raised bands and gilt decoration as well as gilt decoration to the front with lined bands and motifs in each corner. Little to no foxing but evidence of handling and pencil marks on spare page at front. Unusual bookplate arrangement with bookplate stamp glued in place at top over plate of previous owner. Illustrations by PHIZ Intact and neatly and tightly tipped in. Lewis Arundel; or, The Railroad of Life . Frank E. Smedley. London: Virtue, Hall and Virtue. 1852. COLI1852DJKA.
