First edition. Volume 2 only. 4to. Original orange cloth with elaborate Art Nouveau design (by Paul Woodroffe, the secondary binding) in brown on front cover. All edges stained red. London: Henry & Co, 1897.
Book label signed by Mr H. Hodgson on front pastedown. Signature of Robert Sealy George on verso of front free endpaper. Although this binding signifies a later issue, it’s a tremendous bit of design and is much more “forward” than the first issue binding. Text block a bit shaken, but holding firmly, and binding a little faded, but still presenting well.
