EMMA. *** CRANFORD COLLECTION***. This item is unavailable.EMMA. *** CRANFORD COLLECTION***

First edition thus, first printing. This contemporary gift edition splendidly evokes the much loved nineteenth century novel - and features a lovely cover illustration with gold embossing, inspired by exuberant naturalistic motifs of the period, that spills across the front and back covers and spine. This is a title from the much sought after "Cranford Collection", and it's easy to see how this has become a collectible book. It is also an increasingly scarce one. Presented here is an unread, immaculate example of this fabulous classic. This highly appealing edition features a carefully crafted text with period engravings on the frontispiece and an exquisitely decorated chapter opener. And the front cover looks stunning - it perfectly pays homage to the dusky beauty of the rich fabrics of the Victorian era that it seeks to re-imagine. A hardcover, approx: 16cm x 24cm.
