1880s The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot / William Blackwood & Sons, Ltd / Elegant Victorian Edition / In Good Condition

In good condition here is an attractive hardback edition of George Eliot's novel The Mill on the Floss. Undated but published in the 1880s by William Blackwood & Sons, London who were Eliot's original publisher. 

Spanning a period of 10 to 15 years, the novel details the lives of Tom and Maggie Tulliver, siblings who grow up at Dorlcote Mill on the River Floss. 

Inside the pages are super being clean, bright and tightly bound with no writing or marks. Has some mild tanning to the endpapers and spotting to the outside edges. The top edge is gilt which has remained shiny, with a few light scuffs. Opens onto a black and white photogravure frontispiece illustration, which retains it's original tissue guard, (both in excellent condition see photos), else unillustrated. The book has developed a very mild lean over time.

The elegant blue boards are also lovely. With little sign of wear apart from one small mark on the back and slight rubbing to the corners and spine ends. Has a gilt signature of Eliot in the centre of the front board. The gilt on the spine is shiny and bright.

Your antique copy of The Mill on the Floss will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to include a gift card and message in the parcel.
