1899 Silas Marner by George Elliot : Art Nouveau Binding in Scarce Jacket

Silas Marner

By George Elliot

Puyblished by William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London, 1899. Hardback with very scarce original dust jacket, decorative binding in the Art Nouveau style, gilt to all page edges, 284 pages plus 2 pages of adverts at the rear, illustrated by Reginald Birch.

CONDITION
A very good copy. The dust jacket has a small piece missing from the bottom front edge and is nibbled at the head and foot of the spine but is otherwise good. Very rarely will you find a copy with its original dust jacket. The cloth binding is very good with no marks or damage. Endpapers very good, no writing or names to the book, pages very clean throughout. Some faint spotting to endpapers. Overall a very good copy.
