The Hunting Of The Snark And Other Poems

Descripción

VG+/Fair. First edition. Creamy Japanese vellum boards have bright gilt lettering on front and spine. Top edge is also gilt, while the other edges are deckled. Spine and edges are very slightly toned. There is almost no wear at all. Corners are sharp. Hinges are intact and binding is tight. Every page has an illustrated border in olive green. There are 39 glossy black and white plates and a colored, tissue guarded frontispiece. Pages are bright and clean. The only exception is a gift inscription for Christmas 1903 on the ffep. Both free endpapers are toned from proximity to the dj. The very scarce dust jacket is a very thick paper lined with a white silk-type material that has an almost opalescent floral design. The dj is very toned. Lettering on front is just visible but that on spine has faded. There is a chip at top of spine, with loss to the surface paper. Flaps are corner clipped. There is a crack at the front edge of the spine but all is held together in mylar. Almost never found with the dj.
