PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

First edition, first printing of the Hugh Thomson illustrated edition. Original green cloth with titles and peacock design in gilt to the upper board and spine. All edges gilt. Illustrated with 160 line drawings by Hugh Thomson throughout the text, including the tissue guarded frontispiece. Original green coated endpapers. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with some bumping to the spine tips and a little wear to the corners, the spine a touch rolled, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents, with a small bookseller's label to the upper left corner of the front pastedown and with some toning to the plain tissue guard, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. The inner hinges remain sound.

An excellent example, in entirely original condition, of this most desirable illustrated edition of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. (Gilson E78).
