About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1891. First Edition. Decorated Cloth. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 359p. BAL 10502 Curiously, the true First Edition since the translation preceded the UK issue and the First French edition. It was the only translation of James and was well received by the literary world both for its content and the fine translation. The title page is dated 1891 though the actual publication date was October 30, 1890. Then an English edition was published in November of 1890. This is the first state of the binding. Bookplate of Garnet Rea Miller. Protected in a mylar cover.
