About This Item
New York and London: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1927. Fine in very good plus box.. First Wyeth-illustrated edition of this adventure novel by the French author better known for his science fiction - a Brandywine beauty with gorgeous color plates by Wyeth. MICHAEL STROGOFF has been adapted to screens large and small, almost since the genesis of the moving picture as an art form: its first foray into theaters was in 1910, at the hands of Thomas Edison's movie studio. The N. C. Wyeth edition illuminated the story in Brandywine style, with atmospherically lit characters and sweeping scenery. This copy is in particularly attractive condition, and retains its rare original box. 9.5'' x 7''. Original black cloth boards with color pictorial paper panel. Fore-edge machine deckle. Color pictorial endpapers of the Kremlin at sunset. Color pictorial title page with nine color plates. viii, 398 pages. In original publisher's box, with color pictorial paper panel to lid and title label to side. Lid with some edgewear and infills, light sunning. A couple spots of faint finger soiling to preliminaries. Clean and bright.
