Item description from seller

A complete twentieth-century illustrated edition, featuring an extensive range of influential crime stories originally published as The Newgate Calendar. Complete in five volumes. Uniformly bound in the publisher's original cloth. Each work is illustrated with a frontispice. Volume I is then followed by seven plates; Volume II contains three further plates; Volume III contains five further plates; and Volumes IV and V contain four additional plates each. Collated, complete. An extensive twentieth-century edition of The Newgate Calendar. Originally appearing as a monthly bulletin of executions by the Keeper of London's Newgate Prison, the title was appropriated by a number of publishers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, who released numerous macabre chapbooks on notorious criminals of the time. Edited by J. L. Rayner and G. T. Crook, the present work compiles writings from a range of sources, including the notable, previously compiled collection of Andrew Knapp and William Baldwin. Uniformly bound in the publisher's original cloth. Previous ownership signature to the front free endpaper of Volume I, dated 1927. Externally, generally smart with moderate bumping and rubbing, resulting in notable chips to the spine tail of Volume I and spine head of Volume IV. Further, more minimal, shelf wear and a few small tears to the spine heads and tails of the remaining volumes, and cracking towards the top half of the front joint of Volume V, the board remaining firmly bound. Light marking to a few of the boards. Internally, generally firmly bound, the hinges a little weaker in places and especially to the front hinge of Volume V. Reasonably bright and clean with more significant spotting to the first and last few pages of each work. Good.
