A propos de cet article

Author: Lytton, Lord [Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1803–1873] Title: The Last Days of Pompeii Publisher: Thomas Nelson & Sons Ltd. Place: London, Edinburgh, Paris, Melbourne, Toronto and New York Date: n.d. Series: The Nelson Classics Binding: Hardback Dust Jacket: Original pictorial dust jacket Description Lytton, Lord [Edward Bulwer-Lytton], The Last Days of Pompeii, London, Edinburgh, Paris, Melbourne, Toronto and New York, Thomas Nelson & Sons Ltd., n.d., Nelson Classics. An attractive vintage Nelson Classics edition of Bulwer-Lytton’s celebrated historical novel The Last Days of Pompeii, set in the ancient Roman city during the period immediately preceding the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Publisher’s original green cloth binding, with gilt publisher’s lettering to the foot of the spine, retaining the original green pictorial dust jacket. The jacket has a colour illustration of a classical interior scene to the front panel, white titles and lettering, a decorative floral device to the spine and contemporary Nelson Classics advertising to the rear. The rear panel advertises the Nelson Classics series, noting more than 300 volumes and the publisher’s then-price of 1s. 6d. net. The title page gives Thomas Nelson & Sons Ltd. as publishers, with offices in London, Edinburgh, Paris, Melbourne, Toronto and New York. No publication date or edition statement is printed, and the book is therefore catalogued as undated rather than assigning a speculative date. Binding Publisher’s original green cloth, with gilt lettering to spine, in the original colour pictorial dust jacket. Condition Good in Fair dust jacket. The book itself appears sound and presentable in its original green cloth binding. The title page and pages visible in the photographs are clean and clearly printed, with only light age-related toning. The original pictorial dust jacket is substantially complete but considerably worn. The illustrated front panel remains attractive, with good colour and clear lettering, but shows general rubbing, surface marking, creasing and edge wear. There are small tears, chips and areas of paper loss at the corners and extremities. The most significant defect is a substantial area of loss to the lower portion of the dust-jacket spine, exposing the original green cloth and gilt publisher’s lettering beneath. There is additional chipping and wear at the head of the spine. The surviving spine retains the title, author and attractive coloured floral device. The rear jacket panel remains substantially complete and clearly legible, retaining the original Nelson Classics advertisement and printed price of 1s. 6d. net. It shows age-toning, rubbing and handling marks, together with edge creasing and several tears, including a more noticeable tear towards the lower edge. An appealing vintage copy, particularly desirable for retaining its colourful original Nelson Classics dust jacket despite the losses and wear. Please refer closely to the photographs, which form an important part of the condition description.…
