Magnificent period-illustrated volume, representative of the grand New Year gift bindings of the late 19th century. The work is illustrated with numerous illustrations both in text and intertext, including a beautiful frontispiece depicting a dramatic action scene at sea. ** Binding & Condition : - Covers: Original red percaline boards preserved in very good, fresh condition. The first cover features an impressive polychrome and gilt plate signed at the bottom right, illustrating a dramatic sea scene with a ship, steamer, and divers. - Spine: Red percaline spine with gilded title, sailor motif and the publisher’s name. Note that the spine is somewhat fragile but the structure remains solid. - Edges: Gilt edges. - Interior: Complete. Period paper showing light foxing and light oxidation specks that do not affect the readability of the text or the quality of the illustrations.
