Description from the seller
[Very rare copy in cauldron-red color in spectacular condition! ]
VERNE, JULES. — AVENTURES DU CAPITAINE HATTERAS (PARIS, HETZEL, c. 1880-1883. CARTONNAGE ÉDITEUR « AUX DEUX ÉLÉPHANTS » ROUGE).
Paris : J. Hetzel, [1887]. Catalogue at the end.
Grand in-8°. Publisher's red percaline binding "Aux deux éléphants".
Splendid copy preserved in its original publisher's binding signed Lenègre, clad with the mythical gold plaque « Aux deux éléphants » engraved by Souze.
The novel traces the obsessive quest of Captain John Hatteras to be the first man to reach the geographic North Pole, at the price of perilous polar adventures aboard the Forward amid the pack ice and Arctic blizzards.
Copy of exceptional quality: Plaque of dazzling gold, with gleaming golds, of great vivacity and without rubbing. Spine perfect, casings very clean, gilding with a beautiful shine, caps intact and firm.
Percaline on the second cover cauldron-color very clean with the “Collection Hetzel” badge well struck at the center. Binding perfectly solid and homogeneous. Interior fairly fresh despite some small scattered foxing.
Superb copy!
