Couldn't load pickup availability
Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1843 novel of Warwick the Kingmaker and the Wars of the Roses, here in the 1905 Nisbet printing with sixteen Fred Pegram illustrations first drawn for the 1897 edition. Pegram was a Punch and Graphic man, and his pen work has the looseness of someone who drew for a living. Bound in three-quarter tan leather over green cloth, with raised bands and gilt floral tooling to the spine. A reading copy with real presence, the kind that earns its place on a shelf rather than just filling it.
The binding is sound and the text block holds firm. The leather spine and corners show age, with rubbing and softening to the surface and light wear along the joints and at the head and tail of the spine. The green cloth boards have gentle surface wear and faint marking consistent with age. A few scattered spots of foxing appear in the prelims, with the text block otherwise clean and the plates bright. The marbled endpapers and edges remain strong in color. Worn with age in the way a well-kept book of this period should be, and structurally solid throughout.
