Author's Copyright Edition, as stated on the titlepage. Publisher's pictorial binding, chipped at ends of the spine, which is also lightly sunned. pp 192 + 198; twelve plates including the frontispiece, which is lightly foxed. Scattered foxing to endpapers and early pages also. Titlepage a touch embrowned. Bookseller's label of George Philip, Fleet Street, laid in at the foot of the front pastedown. Paired with The Archipelago on Fire. This is a rare pairing, apparently not see by the Jules Verne Encyclopedia, nor Myers (M52) or Galagher's (A60) bibliographies, with no copies cited in the JISC holdings or BL: In February 1919, Sampson Low published two works bound in one volume entitled The Lottery Ticket; and the Begum's Fortune, crown 8vo., priced at 2s6d. Also, about the same time Sampson Low published The Lottery Ticket; and Other Stories, which contained the title story and The Flight to France. [Jules Verne Encyclopedia] The JVE also cites a copy paired with The Vanished Diamond. But a copy paired with The Archipelago on Fire it does not reference. Seller Inventory # 17947
