About This Item
New York: Harper & Bros, 1859. Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a prolific and popular novelist whose reputation and popularity has been restored in the 21st century. "The Bertrams" was his fifth novel, coming on the heels of several failed attempts that had Ireland as the subject matter. This is a Very Good copy of the First American Edition, issued in the same year as the English version from Chapman and Hall. Green pebbled cloth binding with stamped decoration on the front and rear covers, gilt lettering on the spine. Clean text; 528 pages. There are two previous-owner signatures (1859 & 1941) on the FFEP. Bumped corners and rubbing/chipping to the head and foot of the spine, which has darkened to a dark brown. The front gutter is cracked but holding. Basically a sound-enough copy, but not for the advanced collector. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First American Edition.. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket.
