Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

NEW EDITION. Leather-bound with fore-edge painting; hardcover; folio (38 x 29 x 5 cm); pp. xxiv, 183 + 76 full-page illustrations outside the pagination. English text translated by Henry Francis Cary, with critical and explanatory notes, an account of the life of Dante, and a chronology; the verse and biography in single column; chronology and footnotes in double columns. Exquisitely bound in contemporary full crimson morocco with vanishing fore-edge paintings on all three sides; all page edges gilt; marbled endpapers; portrait frontispiece with tissue guard; title-page printed in red and black; illustrated with seventy-five designs by the renowned Gustave Doré, each with a captioned tissue guard. Contents: Life of Dante; Chronological View of the Age of Dante; The Vision of Hell, Canto I - XXXIV. Condition: VERY GOOD. Binding tight and secure with the hinges and joints intact. Very slight shelf wear to covers. Contents complete and largely well-preserved, with some spotting to the title and a few thumb marks. The fore edge paintings remaining bright and fresh. Scarce thus.
