About This Item
Gresham Books, Surrey, England, 1978; 8vo, 267 pages; gray cloth; gilt titles; illustrated. Faithful facsimile of John Bunyan’s classic moral allegory, exactly as it appeared when first published in 1678 by Nathan Ponder of Cheapside, of which but one copy is known to exist. Duplicated verbatim from the 1875 facsimile by Eliot Stock of Paternoster Row in the collection of the British Museum, for which the typeface was re-cast from molds dating back to the time of the first edition. Identical in all respects to the original, including even the shade and texture of the paper, and containing all the original woodcut illustrations. Pilgrim’s Progress as it was first seen by the 17th century reader before any subsequent editions, of which there were eight in Bunyan’s lifetime. Published to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the first edition. Fine, in a price clipped dustjacket which is otherwise also Fine. Absolutely clean, crisp, bright, and sharp.
