About This Item
This is the six volume collected works of Robert Burns published in 1886 by Gebbie & Co. in Philadelphia. Volume I has an inscription page identifying it as "The Ayrshire Edition de Luxe Limited to One Thousand Numbered Copies of which this is Number 113," but this is the only volume with that identifier. These are 8o volumes about 9.25x6.5" with brown board covers having the title and volume number gilt-stamped on the spine. They contain sixty illustrations, including those facing the title page as shown; some of the illustrations fold out, as shown. The page tops are gilt.
These volumes are in good condition with no writing or marks anywhere. The spines and corners have normal wear, as shown, and in the first volume the Publisher's Preface page is beginning to tear out. They may have been rebound from the original edition, but they are great for the collector.
