Les enfants du capitaine Grant
Paris: Hetzel 1903. Fine. Hetzel Paris 1903 19 x 28 cm relié New illustrated edition with 172 drawings by Riou engraved by Pannemaker. Publisher's binding known as ""A la mappemonde"" or ""Au dos à l'ancre"" beveled. Second cover of Engel type i. Very beautiful upper plate with particularly brilliant golds signed Engel in the anchor. Dark traces to the left and right of the world map. Beautiful spine with soft but not collapsed headcaps infinitely faded; this spine has the particularity of possessing a laminated lower section as with the first inlay bindings one might think it is one of the first anchor spines formed like the first gilt globe bindings with an inlay in the lower section; however this world map binding is not at its first attempt it has been thinned in this version the first ones too bulky and heavy would deform and the spine is more harmonious losing its wide unsightly red band. Let us recall that this binding enjoyed a short life and dressed only three titles: The Children of Captain Grant The Mysterious Island and Matthias Sandorf. Perfect second cover. Well-pointed corners lightly rubbed. A tear on the interior border of the second cover measuring 8mm. Perfect edges. Shiny percaline. Very fresh copy completely free of foxing. Magnificent copy very rare in this condition. One of the author's great classics 2 children set out to search for their shipwrecked father. The novel leads the reader from Scotland to New Zealand via the Canary Islands Cape Verde the Strait of Magellan the Andes mountain range the Argentine pampa the Cape of Good Hope Amsterdam Island and Australia. Let us recall that The Children of Captain Grant forms a trilogy with The Mysterious Island and then 20000 Leagues Under the Sea not a sequel but indeed a trilogy. Hetzel unknown

Michel Strogoff. De Moscou à Irkoutsk suivi de un drame au Mexique
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. Second board of Lenègre type e. The particularity of this binding is that it is actually the portrait binding for L'île à helice whose red title cartouches on the first board and spine have been masked by new labels as can be noticed by running one's finger over the cartouches where one feels a thickness. 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. One of the author's most famous adventure novels in which Michel Strogoff courier of the Tsar of Russia from Moscow to Irkutsk capital of eastern Siberia must warn the Tsar's brother of the arrival of the Tartar hordes who have decided to invade Siberia.
