Description
Attention Collectors!!! You are bidding on an antique set of hardcover books titled Social Distinction, or Hearts And Homes by Mrs. Sarah Ellis. There is no publishing date, but this set is almost certainly the First Edition set from 1849/1850. The set is complete in three volumes and you are bidding on all three volumes. It is an all-matching set. Sarah Ellis (1799 - 1872) was a prolific and popular writer during the 1800's. Mrs Ellis was viewed as an admirably moral writer. The work, Social Distinction, is probably her best known work. This set is beautifully bound in full leather. The spines have five raised bands with gold lettering and ornate gold designs. The outside edges of the covers even has attractive, ornate gold design. Covers have gold border and blind-stamped design. All pages are tightly bound. There is light foxing to some pages, but most pages have none. There are decorative endpages. The outside edges of pages are gilt. There is no writing in books and no signs of previous ownership. The corners/edges of bindings show some wear. The set remains in overall very good condition! Would make a super addition to a collection. Great gift idea!
