Hardcover, leather and cloth. Zustand: Very Good. First McClure Edition (1893). Publisher's original hardcover binding in three-quarter red morocco leather with green cloth boards; gilt lettering and decorative device to spine. Binding sound and firm. Minor shelf wear to corners and boards; leather remains supple with light rubbing only. Frontispiece illustration present, with original tissue guard intact. Pages clean, bright, and unmarked throughout. No dust jacket, as issued. A well-preserved example of this finely produced McClure historical romance edition. Collector's Note: Joseph II and His Court is one of L. Mühlbach's popular historical novels exploring the political and personal life of the Enlightenment-era Habsburg court. Issued in English translation by Adelaide de V. Chaudron, McClure's editions are especially admired for their handsome mixed leather-and-cloth bindings and quality paper. Copies retaining clean interiors and intact frontispiece tissue guards are increasingly uncommon, making this a desirable example for collectors of nineteenth-century European historical fiction and McClure publications. More pictures on request and with our pleasure. Book will be carefully wrapped and boxed securely for safe handling during transit. We ship internationally.
