1913 Quality Street by JM Barrie - Illustrated Antique Book

In excellent condition, here is a stunning large-format antique edition of JM Barrie's play Quality Street. Has a copyright date of 1901 but this edition actually published in 1913 by Hodder & Stoughton, London. With twenty-two detailed and charming hand tipped-in colour plates by Hugh Thomson, and further beautiful black line-drawn illustrations in the text. More details below.

Please note dimensions of this large book, below.

Quality Street is a comedy in four acts by J. M. Barrie, written before his more famous work Peter Pan. The story is about two sisters who start a school "for genteel children".

Inside the pages are clean, bright and tightly bound with no inscriptions or markings of previous ownership. All of the lovely colour plates, with their charming Regency dress, are present and also in super condition with their tissue guards. A couple of small nicks to the page edges, but nowhere near the text. Also has charming illustrated endpapers.

Lilac cloth over boards have ornate gilt decoration to the front and spine. In top order. The spine has tanned just a little in comparison to the front. A tiny bit of rubbing to the cloth on the corners and spine ends. The decoration on the front board and spine is sparkly bright, and this is an extremely eye-catching book.

Your antique copy of Quality Street will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message to the parcel if desired.
