Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing of The Girl's Own Annual, Volume XII, comprising The Girl's Own Paper for 1890-1891. Published in London by The "Leisure Hour" Office, 56 Paternoster Row. A particularly attractive example in the original publisher's elaborately decorated blue-green cloth, with extensive gilt and coloured decoration to the upper board and spine. Most strikingly, the original cloth retains a rich blue-green colour: many surviving copies of these Victorian annuals have faded or discoloured substantially towards brown, whereas the colour of this copy remains unusually strong. The gilt is likewise bright and exceptionally attractive, with the elaborate cover design and floral decoration retaining considerable visual impact. The binding is remarkably strong for such a large Victorian volume. Boards firmly attached, text block firmly bound, with no loose leaves and no exposed gutters observed. Some modest wear to the extremities, principally at the spine ends and corners, consistent with age. Internally extensively and beautifully illustrated, with numerous engravings and full-page illustrations, together with colour and folding material. Particularly attractive colour-printed title page. The illustrations remain a major feature of the volume and include work by Kate Greenaway, together with Arthur Hughes, Paul Hardy, Herbert Johnson, W. J. Hennessy, Fred Miller, Clara von Rappard, John C. Staples, Edward Whymper, Alan Wright and numerous other artists of the period. Some foxing is present, principally concentrated in the opening and closing leaves, while much of the main body of the volume is substantially cleaner. A very small corner tear to one of the protective tissue sheets appears to be the only significant physical damage noted (shown in one of the images). Various, including Kate Greenaway, Arthur Hughes, Paul Hardy, Herbert Johnson, W. J. Hennessy, Fred Miller, Clara von Rappard, John C. Staples, Edward Whymper, Alan Wright and others. See image.
