A Journey to the Centre of the Earth

Uncommon early edition. Hardback octavo in original publisher’s cloth with gilt-framed titles and charming coloured illustration in good plus condition; just a little shelf worn to edges, top and tail; corners a little bumped. Cracking over front and rear endpapers; a little spine wobble but otherwise text block entirely sound. Contemporary ownership inscription to top of half title reads ‘Fred Budden Feb 14th 1892’. Frontispiece in very good condition. Charming vignettes and further illustrations very good. Fresh and unmarked throughout. 179 pp. plus advertisements. A lovely copy.
