Days with Sir Roger de Coverley, a reprint from "The Spectator" [originally written by Joseph Addison], with illustrations by Hugh Thomson. Published in London in 1892 by Macmillan & Co.
-------------------
A stunning book with a particularly remarkable gilt front cover and of course with the famous illustrations of Hugh Thomson. These Hugh Thomson illustrated books have had a recent resurgence in popularity which has not ceased due to the popularity of his illustrations for the 1894 edition of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, commonly known as the Peacock Edition.
Size: 13 x 18.5 cm (approx.)
Condition:
Spine slightly faded but remaining very attractive. Front board near fine and rear board also near fine. All edges gilt and very good. Without any attached bookplates or ownership inscriptions. Very slight shelf lean, sufficiently minor such that the book remains vertical. Endpapers foxed as typical with the text block with some mild toning throughout and very minor very sporadic foxing affecting only a few leaves, generally internally very good. A superior copy of this lovely book.
