Two volumes. 8vo., 347 & 368 pages. Two colored frontispieces & 100 Illustrations. A detailed account of Napoleon Bonaparte's second and final exile on the island of St. Helena, canvassing the events on the island and the often-strained relationship between Napoleon and Sir Hudson Lowe, the British officer tasked with safeguarding him. Attractive unsigned half leather bindings almost certainly by P.B. Sanford, who was active in Boston in the early 20th century. The tooling is identical to other bindings signed by him. His bindings are uncommon. Spines tooled with characteristic Napoleonic devices: The Napoleonic or Imperial bee together with an imperial crown surmounting a stylized Napoleonic “N”. Top edge gilt. Two ownership bookplates (Wiggin, 1630 & E.R. Albert, Jr. Tulsa, Oklahoma). Some loss to the upper corners of volume 1 and three corners of volume 2. Otherwise, fine. Extra charges will apply if you are shipping outside the USA.
