This is a gorgeous Victorian copy, and a must-have for serious collectors. Though 125 years old, it is absolutely in readable condition! I have not found any other copies of this one for sale ANYWHERE. The handwritten note at the front says it was printed May 21, 1898. From the note, it is possible that very very few exact copies of this exist; this could be the only one. There is only one major flaw, the spine is a bit separated as seen in image 7. This is not at all unusual for the age; and is repairable. This is very much reflected in the price; I’m listing this as a steal in hopes that it lands with someone who will cherish it. Please message me with any inquiries!
