c1918 Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte / Scarce & Beautiful Leather Bound Edition / Collins Clear-Type / Illustrated / In Very Good Condition

In very good condition, here is a beautiful antique, limp leather copy of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Undated but would have been published in the 1910s by Collins Clear-Type Press, London. Indeed there is a small inked inscription dated 1918. With colourful illustrated frontispiece and title page, and three further colour plates.

I have only come across this edition a couple of times, and that was in the pale blue boards binding. I have never come across this lovely green leather edition. At time of writing I also have Wuthering Heights and Villette in the matching binding. I cannot find any other copies in this binding for sale anywhere.

Inside the pages are clean, bright and tightly bound. With the above-mentioned inscription on the verso of the frontispiece, but no other writing or markings of previous ownership. One CONDITION POINT to note is a closed tear to one page (see final photo). All edges are shiny gilt.

In dark green limp leather with ornate gilt decoration to the front and spine. Again in top order - has a few light scuffs to the back and some mild rubbing to the leather at the head and tail of the spine. With a crease in the leather at the bottom of the spine also (see photos), but minor. Overall a stunning copy.

Your vintage copy of Jane Eyre will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to include a gift card and message if desired.
