1863 Romola by George Eliot in Two Volumes / Bernhard Tauchnitz Leipzig / Beautiful hotsell Full Vellum Volumes / Original Slipcase / Good Condition

In excellent condition for books of nearly 160 years old. Here are two beautiful full vellum volumes of George Eliot's novel Romola. Published in 1863 by Bernhard Tauchnitz, Leipzig (in English). Richly illustrated with albumen photographs and in the original slipcase box. Please note the size of these volumes below.

Romola is set in the fifteenth century. The story takes place amidst actual historical events during the Italian Renaissance, and includes in its plot several notable figures from Florentine history.

Inside the pages are in good condition being clean, bright and tightly bound. With decorative endpapers and has an inscription on an early endpaper in Volume I dated 1889. With red ribbon page markers and the pages are tinted red on all three sides.

Beautifully bound in cream vellum and with bevelled edges. With ornate deep red and gilt decoration to the fronts, backs and spines and with ornate gilt inner dentelles on the inside of the boards. All in very good condition with just the odd light mark or rubbing. With some slightly darker areas where the books are not covered by the slipcase. The dark red leather title plates have dulled a bit in comparison to the fronts and backs.

The dark red slipcase box has picked up some light stain marks but remains sturdy and presentable and should continue to protect the books for many more years to come.

A wonderful edition for the literature lover or collector. Your two-volume slipcased set of Romola will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message to the parcel if desired.
