Superb and rare edition of The Children of Captain Grant, by Jules Verne from Hetzel editions, in its binding with the cardinal banner on a blue background
Rare binding with the 1st-type banner, the first banner on the boards is thin. First printing with a frontispiece identical to Obus, paper and spine thin.
Splendid first cover. Original endpapers (one reinforced)
Body of the book in good condition, restorations to the hinges, square corners.
Beautiful gutter gilt, almost ingot-like, with lovely gilding. Good interior despite a few foxing marks.
Some signs of time, a few small touch-ups. The binding overall is beautiful. A fine rarity.
