BLACK FRIDAY Deal-of-the-Day; The Works of Lord Byron, 13 Volumes of 14, 1832
A handsome 1832 collection of Lord Byron’s works, published in London by John Murray and including his letters and journals, with a life of the poet by Thomas Moore. The title pages state that the set was issued in fourteen volumes; volume IX is missing, and thirteen volumes are included here. The edition was later expanded with three additional volumes in 1833.
The volumes are bound in blue leather with marbled boards, gilt rules, and richly decorated spines. Stunning engraved frontispiece illustrations. Attached silk page marker. A lovely grouping for a Byron reader or collector of nineteenth-century literature.
Condition: Bindings are tight and pages are clean. There is age-related rubbing and wear to the bindings, including some wear to the spine labels and missing title labels to spines.
Size: 4 1/4” x 6 3/4”
A striking shelf display and an appealing opportunity to acquire a substantial portion of this early Byron edition.
This set, in its present condition, would normally list for $285.
