1906 Pride and Prejudice
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Decorative Binding, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
The December 1906 fifth edition of the important Hugh Thomson Peacock 'Pride and Prejudice'. Thompson's first Peacock edition was printed in October 1894.
Thomson's was the first edition of Jane Austen's beloved novel to contain illustrations throughout, with previous editions, such as the Bentley 1833 edition, only containing a frontispiece.
Irish illustrator Thomson was best known for his pen-and-ink illustrations of works by authors including Austen, Charles Dickens and J. M. Barrie, inaugurating the 'Cranford School' of illustration with the publication of his 1891 Macmillan edition of Elizabeth Gaskell's 'Cranford'.
Illustrated with a frontispiece and over one hundred further vignette illustrations by Thomson.
Retaining the original half title. Lacking the front free endpaper.
An iconic edition of Jane Austen's classic Regency era romance, in the striking pictorial cloth.
