Dumas Alexander
Celebrated Crimes in Three Volumes: Volume III Only
Boston: Joseph Knight Company 1896. Celebrated Crimes was originally published in France between 1839-1840 in eight volumes. This First Edition Thus is an English translation published in 1896 by Joseph Knight Company of Boston.

This particularly handsome and ornate book includes four famous crimes: The Marquise de Ganges Karl Ludwig Sand Vaninka and Urban Grandier. Joseph Knight had several alternate bindings using the same designs but with different colors. This is the red-cloth version. There was also one in brown cloth. The elaborate design shows nine vignette drawings of a gilt sword within a mirrored border of black bats on the front panel plus three identical vignette designs on the spine. The titles in die-stamped gilt are also found on both the front panel and spine. There is a small area of discoloration on the front panel as if from a spill shown in the photo. The spine is a little darkened but completely readable. There is light rubbing at the spine tips and corners. The book has top-edge gilt. The original owner's signature and address is on the front free end paper. The pages are clean and bright throughout. The book also includes six full-page drawings with tissue guards. .
