The notoriously fragile publication was professionally rectored and strengthened with new endpapers. Tight and firm. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Inscribed and signed by a private owner: ""James Ernest Howell with love from his father". Jules Gabriel Verne 8 February 1828 24 March 1905 was a French novelist poet and playwright. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires a series of bestselling adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth 1864 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas 1870 and Around the World in Eighty Days 1872. His novels always well documented are generally set in the second half of the 19th century taking into account the technological advances of the time. In addition to his novels he wrote numerous plays short stories autobiographical accounts poetry songs and scientific artistic and literary studies. His work has been adapted for film and television since the beginning of cinema as well as for comic books theater opera music and video games. Verne is considered to be an important author in France and most of Europe where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation was markedly different in the Anglosphere where he had often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels have often been printed. Since the 1980s his literary reputation has improved. Jules Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979 ranking between Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare. He has sometimes been called the "father of science fiction" a title that has also been given to H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback. In the 2010s he was the most translated French author in the world. In France 2005 was declared "Jules Verne Year" on the occasion of the centenary of the writer's death. Wikipedia hardcover

His strong head a veritable lion's mane shook at moments a fiery hair which made him a true mane. A short face broad at the temples adorned with a bristling mustache like a cat's whiskers and small somewhat disheveled tufts a myopic gaze completed this eminently feline physiognomy.""

Paris: Hetzel 1895. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1895 18.50 x 28 cm relié New illustrated edition with numerous drawings by J. Ferat as with other editions and 8 polychrome plates. The first ""Au portrait collé"" publisher's boards from 1892 do not contain these chromotypographies. Catalogue D in fine. Publisher's boards known as ""Au portrait collé"" signed Lenègre relieur.

This type of alteration has been observed on other titles. The depletion of stock while the new chosen bindings would be those ""Au globe doré"" surely led to these small modifications very rare and curious for the collector. Beautiful first plate with fine gilt on red ground. Corners very lightly rubbed quite rigid. Head slightly rubbed with a micro cut. A 0.5cm split at the lower joint at tail. Spine with a whitish stain above the medallion. Copy slightly warped. Some scattered foxing. Handsome copy overall.
