An attractive Victorian-era literary tale, presented in its original green cloth binding with gilt titling and decorative gilt tooling to the spine and front board. Parted: A Tale of Clouds and Sunshine is a sentimental 19th-century novel by N. D’Anvers, a popular author of moral and domestic fiction of the period. This 1879 London edition includes four illustrations, as stated on the title page. The binding remains firm, with clear gilt decoration still visible. The cloth shows surface marking, rubbing, and light staining, consistent with age and handling. Internally, the pages show foxing and age toning throughout, typical of Victorian publications, but the text remains clear and readable. No loose or missing pages noted. A solid, honest example of a late-Victorian illustrated novel, suitable for collectors of 19th-century literature, Victorian fiction, or decorative antique books. Condition: Good antique condition. Original green cloth binding with rubbing, marks, and light staining. Gilt decoration present but worn in places. Pages show foxing and age toning throughout. Binding firm and complete.…
