1890s The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe / George Routledge & Sons, London / Antique Book / In Very Good Condition
In a striking binding and in very good condition here is an antique copy of The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. Undated but would have been published in the 1880s-1890s by George Routledge & Sons, London. Richly illustrated with one hundred Dalziel engraved illustrations (see photos). Fairly large format (see dimensions below).
Inside the pages are clean, bright and tightly bound with just the occasional brown blemish. Has a neatly inked inscription on the verso of the front free endpaper but no other writing or markings of previous ownership. All edges are shiny gilt.
Olive-green cloth covered boards have beautiful black and gilt decoration to the front and spine. With bevelled edges. All in top order. Has just a little rubbing away of the green in spots along the fore-edge of the front board, and a couple of faint marks. The rear board has three small scuffs to the cloth, and one small faint brown mark but minor. Has some mild rubbing to the cloth on the corners and spine ends. The gilt decoration has remained sparkly bright, and this is an extremely eye-catching book.
Your antique copy of Robinson Crusoe will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged with tracking and insurance. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message to the parcel.
