1895rif. 35194New York: D. Appleton and co. 1895. 2 volumes. First Edition Thus and the first Appleton trade edition with Leloir's illustrations. With 250 fine black and white illustrations by Maurice Leloir engraved by J. Huyot. Tall 8vo bound in the publisher's original red and tan cloth the upper covers blocked pictorially in red and gilt the spines lettered and decorated in gilt top edges gilt. xxii 358 2 ads.; x 357 1 2 ads. pp. A handsome set in pleasing condition the bindings sound and strong hinges in fine state illustrations and the text-blocks clean. FIRST EDITION THUS. Dumas’ most loved work and a timeless classic of adventure and intrigue. Leloir’s crisp and detailed drawings and the decorated bindings combine to make this a very pleasing edition. The translation by William Robson is still considered one of the very best. There is also a preface by Dumas and a letter from Dumas fils. This story captured the imaginations of readers around the world and is a perennial staple of the film industry. It contends with THE COUNT OF MONTE- CRISTO as the best of Dumas “pere’s” historical novels-- a series in which the author proposed to reconstruct the entire course of French history. The extensive illustrations by Maurice Leloir make this a very nice copy of this ageless classic. D. Appleton and co. hardcover
