FIRST COLOUR HUGH THOMSON EDITION. 8vo. Illustrated throughout with 101 fine line drawings by Thomson, 40 of them now printed in colours for the first time. A very good copy in a fine late nineteenth century leather binding by Mudie of London. Full dark green morocco, spine with raised bands. Compartments ruled, decorated and lettered in gilt. Gilt ruled border on boards. Inner gilt dentelles. Marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. A little rubbing to the extremities but overall a lovely copy of this highly attractive edition. Originally issued with the illustrations plain but here with 40 coloured for the first time by Thomson in 1898. A beautiful edition of this English classic. Artikel-Nr. 11466
