    Description

    Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    First published in 1904, this is a 1914 edition of Chesterton's work, in the same pictorial cloth binding as the first edition.

    Illustrated with a frontispiece and seven further plates by William Graham Robertson. Collated, complete.

    Set in a nearly unchanged London in 1984, the novel presents a London run by an impersonal government, not described in any detail, but apparently content to operate through a figurehead king, who is randomly chosen from the public.

    With a bookseller's label to the front pastedown.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Boards bright. Bumping to back strip head and tail, with back strip lightly age toned. Bookseller's label to front pastedown. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages bright, with light spotting to plates and the pages facing them.

    Very Good Indeed
