Dragon’s Teeth: Antique Novel, 1898 First Edition
$210.00
This is a “very good” antique novel in maroon cloth wrapped boards with gold lettering, 516 pages.
The year of publication on the title page, 1889, matches the copyright year on the verso, indicating first edition printing.
The binding is tight, intact, not split or weakened. The spine is a bit cocked (meaning, when the book is laid flat on it’s back on a table, the front board edge overhangs the back board edge). The text block closes tightly, is relatively uniform all around in color – top edge has a little speckling. Board corner tips and spine head and heel are worn and slightly frayed in the cloth. Boards are amazingly even in color, a few small specks in a few places, Spine cloth might be ever so slightly tanned. Rear board at lower spine corner shows a half dollar size semi-circle which is seemingly a little moisture exposure.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Translated from book by Eca De Queiros by Mrs. Serrano, who is considered to be one of the most important English translators of her period, who having written her own books and poetry, also translated many titles into English.
