Description
The Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Illustrated. 2 volumes Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Published by Houghton, Mifflin and Company / The Riverside Press, Boston / Cambridge, 1879-1882 Leather. Condition: Good+. Two volumes Volume 1 published in 1879 and volume 2 published in 1882. Mildly ex-library, with no exterior library markings. Minor ink-stamps to interior. Pagination runs continuously through both volumes, with 16 pages of prefatory material to each volume and 928 total pages of text. Volumes are profusely illustrated. Volume 1 was printed in 1879, while volume 2 was printed in 1882. Very nicely and uniformly bound in 1/2 red leather, with 5 faux raised bands to spines, and gilt lettering, decorations, and rule to spines. Additional gilt to leather on boards. Marbled endpapers. Leather is generally very nice, with several small worn area to extremities. Just a touch of soiling to edges of pages. Bindings are sound, with reinforced hinges. There is a crease to the length of the front free endpapers of both volumes, which makes them tender and perhaps prone to becoming detached. Five early pages admit to a kind of yellow stain, which does effect illustrations and text, while an additional approximately 40 pages admit to a similar but faint yellow stain to upper margins. Minor red spotting to 2 printer's blanks. Tiny, closed and barely discernible tears to extremities of just a few pages. None of this wear is terribly offensive. This set would make a lovely addition to any library. Seller Inventory # 029575
