1893 Villette by Charlotte Brontë — 2-Volume J.M. Dent Edition with Illustrations by E. G. Steig & Ornaments by A. G. Gling

Both volumes include tissue-guarded illustrations by E. G. Steig and ornamental designs by A. G. Gling, enhancing the novel’s moody continental setting and Brontë’s rich psychological detail.
