What Our Customers Say...
Description
Decorative Binding, First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding
The first edition of the work.
In publisher's original brown decorative cloth binding. With gilt to fore edge.
Includes 24 plates, with plate 9 titled 'Moonlight In Venice' incorrectly bound as a frontispiece. Collated, complete.
This work is a collection of stories of romance and chivalry, edited by English socialite, journalist, and writer Catherine Ball, known as the Baroness de Calabrella.
Her writing is accompanied by the beautiful illustrations of British painter George Cattermole, a friend of Charles Dickens who worked chiefly in water colours.
The stories take place at Haddon Hall, an English country house on the River Wye near Bakewell, Derbyshire, a former seat of the Dukes of Rutland.
