With over eight tales and sixty illustrations, including four colour plates. Undated, but would have been published in the 1880s by George Routledge and Sons, London. Condition in detail below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the pages are clean and tightly bound. Has an inked inscription and a pencil price in old money on the front free endpaper. Just the occasional mark or blemish. Some toning along the closed top edge. Mild spotting to the frontispiece tissue-guard. Has a cracked hinge at the beginning, giving the front board a mild wobble, but in no way effecting the binding of the text block which is good and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an eye-popping decorative cloth binding. Colourful Art Nouveau decoration to the front and spine, and a black design on the back. Again in very good order. Has some slight rubbing to the cloth on the corners and spine ends. A couple of very faint marks on the back. The red on the spine has faded in comparison to the deep colour on the front and back. Gilt titles remain bright, and this copy looks eye-catching on display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour antique copy of Fairy Tales and Stories of Hans Andersen will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged.
