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. An excellent very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the spine tips a little rolled, with a touch of rubbing to rear board and lower corners, the cloth and gilt exceptionally bright and fresh. The contents with a few light spots to the prelims and last few pages and a tiny fragment of paper adhered to the half title, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. The inner hinges remain sound.

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