George du Maurier — Trilby

London, Harper's Monthly Magazine, 1894. First edition. Leather. A fantastic find for fans of du Maurier, the original Harper's Monthly serialisation of Trilby bound from the parts into a finely bound volume. Bound in half leather and marbled paper-covered boards with gilt lettering. This is a collection of the first printed serial appearances of Trilby extracted from Harper's Monthly Magazines and bound as one complete work. High quality paper has been laid down covering superfluous text to make for a continuous narrative. With the armorial nameplate of S. F. Widdrington to the front pastedown. George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier, 1834 – 1896, was a French-born British cartoonist and author. Triby is du Maurier's second work. Shallcross Fitzherbert Jacson was the nephew of Samuel Edward Widdrington (1787–1856) the writer on Spain. He inherited his estates and name. In a half calf binding with marbled boards. Externally, there is some mild wear to the extremities, including some mild rubbing. The front hinge is starting but still firm. The binding is tight and firm. Internally, the pages are generally bright with light scattered spotting, heavier to the endpapers. Occasional handling marks. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
