First Edition. A key work by Trollope, the 4th of the Barchester sequence, and one of the great 19th century novels. First edition in 3 volumes and in original cloth.
Originally issued serially in the opening 3 volumes of the Cornhill magazine, the novel was published in book form by Smith, Elder in April 1861 [Sadleir #11]. It was never reprinted in 3-decker format. This set is in the publishers' greyish purple grained cloth with elaborate blind-stamping to the boards and lettering and decoration to spine in gilt.
All 6 illustrations by Millais present and correct. 16pp catalogue dated April 1861 bound in at end of Vol. 3 (as per Sadleir). Professional restoration to wear at heads, tails and spine edges using period cloth. Endpapers replaced using canary-yellow coated paper.
Minor grubbiness passim but a perfectly sound set in as near to original state as one is reasonably likely to find. Each volume in protective acetate sleeve. No other copies online at time of listing.
A rare opportunity to acquire a first edition set of this iconic novel. Scans sent on request. J.E.
Millais (illustrator).
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
