The Pilgrim’s Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come
New York: Hurst & Co., Publishers, 1890s. Octavo. Publisher's deep blue cloth elaborately stamped in black and gilt, with floral and ornamental decoration to front board and spine. Patterned endpapers. Tissue-guarded portrait frontispiece. All edges gilt. Light rubbing to extremities, modest wear at spine ends and corners, scattered foxing and age-toning. Early Christmas presentation inscription to front blank. Binding remains sound and visually striking.
A handsome decorative edition of John Bunyan's enduring religious allegory, distinguished by its elaborate Victorian-style publisher's binding and illustrated text. Illustrated by J. D. Watson and others. Particularly appealing as an example of late nineteenth-century decorative trade binding and an attractive companion to similarly bound Hurst literary editions. Very Good.
