Alfred Tennyson; Illustrated by Arthur Hughes

ENOCH ARDEN

London: Edward Moxon & Co., 1866.
Illustrated by Arthur Hughes.

Octavo. Embossed Cloth. First Illustrated Edition. A gorgeous copy of a book that is notorious for wearing heavily; bound in brown pebbled cloth with both upper and lower covers as well as spine stamped in elaborate motifs; gold is still very bright; there is the most discreet of archival repairs to the back joint; there is a very subtle mend inside the front hinge; neat contemporary owners name on the front free endpaper; 21 engravings after drawings by Hughes on heavy card stock; all edges gilt; textblock is slightly shaken--common due to the heavy paper; digital images can be made available upon request.
