Richard Henry Savage — My Official Wife
London, George Routledge and Sons, 1892. Leather. A scarce copy of Richard Henry Savage's My Official Wife. In an attractive leather binding. Known for adventure books which were in keeping with his own somewhat daring and glamorous life as a military officer and writer in Nineteenth Century America, this was his first and most acclaimed novel, although the author was famously resolute in his dismissal of literary critics. Contains bookbinders' stamp to pastedown. In half-morocco binding with gilt detailing. Externally quite smart, there is some wear to the extremities, joints and backstrip. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean throughout, aside from the usual foxing to endpages. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
