About This Item
New York: A. L. Fowle, Publishers, 1905. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Type: Hardback 1905 A. L. Fowle, Publishers. First published 1867 by D Appleton and Company. This is One Book in Good Condition from the Special Edition of a Set of L. Muhlbach's Historical Fiction. Luise Muhlbach is the pen name for Clara Mundt, b. 1814 Neubrandenburg, d. 1873. She was a German writer best known for her works of historical fiction. They were quite popular for a relatively short time. Many, if not all, were translated into English. This novel was translated from the German by Mrs. Chapman Coleman and Her Daughters. The books in this set are all bound in red extended cloth over the spine with the gilt rubbed off the titles which are imprinted into the spine-- looks blind-stamped now; boards covered with green cloth, a few pale marks on front, otherwise quite clean, corners lightly scuffed, some edges rubbed, inner hinge cracked and there is a little wobble to spine, but sewn binding is tight and solid. Bookplate of former owner on inside of front cover. Frontis: Frederick William I in His Laboratory, from the painting by A. Borckmann, on coated paper, historic illustration, and two additional like illustrations--they are quite fine, in detail, expression, clothing, background, full page, monotone. Some foxing on endpapers and Title page. Pages quite clean, no underlining, highlighting, or any other marking of text, no creases no marginalia, lightly toned. There may be an occasional spot but I didn't find any. 433 pages. 7.5 x 5 inches. 1905, A. L. Fowle, Publishers, New York, USA
