Hardcover. Etat : Good. Reproductions of old engravings (illustrateur). This is "The Comedy of Errors", a play by William Shakespeare. It was edited with copious notes and an Introduction by William J. Rolfe, and published by Harper & Brothers in 1881. The book is graced with several engraved illustrations, as well as decorative embellishments. This copy came from the personal library of Jospeh B. Cooke, and has his bookplate as well as his signature and dated inscription on the free end-paper opposite. This may have been the Joseph B. Cooke who was a doctor in Cooperstown, but I have not verified this.

Rolfe (William James Rolfe, 1827 - 1910) IMPRINT : Harper & Brothers PLACE : New York DATE : 1881 EDITION : First Printing Thus. STATUS : This edition OP.

[154] Pages , plus 6 pages of publisher's promotional text; 5" x 6 5/8"; reddish - brown, cloth -covered binding with gilt lettering on spine and front board. Binding is semi-flexible. Simple line border in blind on front and rear boards. All text-block edges are dyed red. manilla colored end-papers. CONDITION - NEAR VERY GOOD - This is a previously owned book that has undergone some wear (there are small damp stains at edges - see below); the original owner's handsome bookplate is on the front paste-down, and the dated signature / inscription on the free end-paper, opposite. This in India ink, reading " Jos. B. Cooke /from/ Grandmother / Dec. 29 - 1883 . The following particulars are noted :: EXTERIOR -- Clean. The spine extremities are compressed and abraded, with fraying just starting; joints are rubbed. The surface of the boards, front and rear, are bright - the gilt lettering still being bright. Corner tips are softly bumped with attendant rub thereon. Text-block edges are still bright - and clean. BINDING -- Solid the leaves open widely - it is obvious that the book has been read, but no leaves are detached or loose. INTERIOR -- The book was exposed to some moisture long ago and displays a few small damp stains (with attendant tide lines) along the edges (hence the condition grade). These are small in area, and not so egregious, but, nonetheless are there, and have as well contributed a modest sort of ripple effect to the paper. All that being said - the binding and internal pages are quite clean and the interior even has a crisp quality. The book is more than serviceable, still being a pleasure to peruse. The engraved illustrations have not suffered, and display nicely. Other than the owner's inscription, there is no writing, no underlining or marginalia.
