Beschreibung

8 1/2" x 10 13/16", half leather, marbled boards with leather foredge corners, 168 pp. The rare variant without the frontispiece [Wolff, 5950]. The merry adventures of an umbrella and its owner, illustrated throughout with illustrations by Landells, "after designs by Phiz" [Hablot K. Browne, the illistrator of many Dickens works]. Half leather with leather corners, spine leather replaced and with two debossed bands and title to spine [see photo with inset photo of title]. One corner tip repaired, others worn and chipped; some minor deterioration at an edge near the spine head; boards tanned and rubbed with some wear at edges; text block edges darkened at top and bottom. Binding is quite sound; original endpapers unmarked except for tanning in corners where leather touches; FO name in elegant script on TP, dated June 1849; no foxing except for the last page, which also has some soiling. Otherwise good. A nice copy of the 1845 First Edition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 00946v
