About This Item
This vintage copy of the classic novel Gulliver's Travels contains four beautifully conserved illustrated plates. This Excelsior Edition was printed in the 1870's with green embossed stamped gilt boards.
Jonathan Swift wrote this classic novel in 1729 and it has been popular ever since. It is a satire on human nature and a parody of travelers' tales.
The hardcover is in good condition. The binding has bent a little over time and a few of the middle pages are peeling away. There is a note from a previous owner in cursive on one of the first pages.
