DUMAS, Alexandre. The Count of Monte Cristo. Chicago: Donohue, Henneberry & Co., n.d. [ca. 1895].
Early American reprint edition of Dumas’ enduring adventure classic, bound in publisher’s decorative burgundy cloth stamped in black with an elaborate ivy-and-lantern design to upper cover and spine. Octavo. Complete text ending on page 479 with “[THE END.]”
A solid and attractive Victorian era copy. Binding shows moderate shelf and edge wear, rubbing to extremities, and fading to spine gilt. Front inner hinge cracked with webbing exposed, back inner hinge starting, though text block remains attached and generally sound. Pages evenly toned as usual, with occasional light handling wear but largely clean internally. Contemporary ownership signature to front blank.
An appealing antique edition of one of the great nineteenth-century historical adventure novels, notable for its ornate Victorian publisher’s binding and substantial surviving integrity despite evident use.
Condition: Good. Binding worn; front hinge cracked, back hinge starting; corners and spine ends rubbed; text complete and clean overall.
