First edition, first issue with the publication date on the upper wrapper altered by hand of Stevenson's classic book. Octavo, original wrappers, advertisements. In very good condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell and chemise box. First editions in the original wrappers are rare. "If [Bram Stoker's] Dracula leaves one with the sensation of having been struck down by a massive, 400-page wall of horror, then Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is like the sudden, mortal jab of an ice pick" (Stephen King). Leaping to life out of a "fine bogey dream" from which the author's wife abruptly awakened him, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde proved "immediately and lastingly Stevenson's most famous story" (Baugh et al., 1499). "Published as a 'shilling shocker,' a form at that time in fashion, it became instantly popular; was quoted from a thousand pulpits; was translated into German, French and Danish; and the names of its two chief characters have passed into the common stock of proverbial allusion" (DNB). "It is a Faustian moral fable which takes the form of a tale of mystery and horrorâ ¦ [It] is the prototype of all stories of multiple personality, transformation and possessionâ ¦ The psychological power of the writing, including Jekyll's agonies, is patent" (Clute & Nicholls, 1165). "When we thrill to the shock and horror of the story, I think it is because we all, at least to some degree, have been torn by [Jekyll's] internal conflict. When we recoil in terror from the selfish savagery of Mr. Hyde, I think it is because we fear our own secret selves" (Jack Williamson). It is the basis for many adaptations to the screen, most notably in 1931 starring Fredric March and in 1941 featuring Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, and Lana Turner.

THE TRUE FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. THIS COPY IN THE ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPPERS WITH DATE CHANGE IN PEN AND EXECUTED BY HAND. "Jekyll and Hyde" is one of Stevenson's most collectible titles and copies in the original wrappers are extremely difficult to obtain. Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh and began studying law at Edinburgh University. He was admitted advocate in 1875, but decided to become a writer. Stevenson was fascinated by Edinburgh street life and developed a Bohemian lifestyle. He soon began travelling due to ill health, in search of a place where he could feel better. After travelling extensively, by 1884, he had also published a good deal. His first two books--Treausre Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde brought him fame. "The theme of dualism and the Doppelgänger recurs in his work, as does an admiration for morally ambiguous heroes or anti-heroes." [Oxf Compan to Lit] These themes are particularly true for this well-known story. Dr. Jekyll, a physician cognizant of the duality of good and evil in his personality and intrigued with the idea of developing these sides separately, into different people, discovers a drug that will help him do so. His alter-ego is called Mr. Hyde and is pure evil, gradually taking over the other side of his personality. Dr. Jekyll eventually loses control of the two sides and is forced to deal with the consequences.

Sheets Archivally Mounted. Zustand: Very good +. THE RARE: ORIGINAL PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO MIDDLE ROAD WHICH LEADS TO SKERRYVORE, Robert Louis Stevenson's home in Bournemouth where John Singer Sargent painted Stevenson and his wife and where Stevenson had the famous dream which inspired his great work "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", which tale, among other great works, he wrote at Skerryvore, a property later owned by Heywood Sumner, Esq., a successor in ownership to the home, who was closely involved with the Arts and Crafts movement and the late-Victorian London art world. Sumner, who was qualified as a Barrister, also employed much of his time as an amateur archaeologist, geologist, naturalist, and folklorist.] Skerryvore, whose lawns ran down from the house to Alum Chine Road, is where Stevenson lived from 1885 until his departure for Samoa (where he died in 1894). Thus, the Plans for Middle Road improvements were prepared soon after his departure from that house and show the names of Stevenson's neighbors and/or tenants thereof. Skerryvore itself was a "wedding present" from Stevenson's father to Stevenson and his wife, Fanny, approximately four years after their marriage -- most likely the father's attempt to keep his peripatetic son near to him in his last years. [Stevenson came to legal ownership of it upon his father's death in 1887. Named after "Skerryvore", the tallest lighthouse in Scotland and one designed by his uncle, Alan Stevenson, who, like Stevenson's father, was a leading lighthouse engineer, the house was destroyed by German bombs on November 16, 1940. There now stands in its place a memorial garden containing a statue of the lighthouse for which the home was named.] These Plans constitute an important record of Stevenson's home and neighborhood and neighbors, a rare opportunity for the Collector.

The bookplate of George Barr McCutcheon, the 19th Century American novelist and playwright, on the front pastedown. A very good copy, only with a bit of rubbing to the cloth. Slightly worn edges, and bumps to the extremities of the spine. A crack to the front hinge and the binding a bit shaken, but otherwise a solid and essentially intact volume. The contents fine throughout but for foxing and slight adhesive residue to the first free endpaper, as well a bit of damp stain to the top right corners of pages 73-76. A very handsome example overall of this often fragile volume, the present with interesting provenance. Housed in a custom clamshell box. Laid in is a newspaper clipping from 1887, advertising the very first stage performance of the story. A cornerstone of gothic horror, and one of the most recognizable works in English literature. Jekyll and Hyde is the archetype of tales of multiple personality, particularly split between good and evil.

First Edition. First printing. Octavo. 18cm. Contemporary or near contemporary blue cloth binding titled in gilt to spine. 141pp. [3pp] ads to rear, including recto/verso of original wrap. The binding is tight, clean, and handsome, showing only trifling wear to spine ends and extremities. Internally clean, coated black endpapers, some light soiling to half title, probably caused by the absence of the front wrap. This is clearly a Longmans paper wraps edition, published simultaneously with the salmon pink hardcover, and then placed in this slightly strange binding, with the rear wrap complete with advertisments, retained at the rear. It's extremely professional, blind ruled to the boards and with slim gilt ruling to the spine, it doesn't show the hallmarks of a library binding, but looks more like an in house job, although it lacks an imprint to the base of the spine and there's some slight misalignment of the title stamping. The endpapers in particular are indicative of an accomplished mechanised bindery, and it feels very late 19th century. It remains something of a mystery, but is nevertheless a very good looking first edition copy of one of the most important and influential weird novels of the nineteenth century, spawning a slew of homages and imitators, and yet to lose its stranglehold upon the popular imagination.
