About this Item

First American edition (same year as the English edition), and the first with these illustrations. With illustrations by the author. 1 vols. 8vo. Maurier's celebrated and wildly popular novel of Bohemian Paris was first serialized in Harper's Magazine with these illustrations. The London triple-decker of 1894 did not contain them (see Sadleir), and their first printing in book form was in this Harper's edition. Though it no longer has its sensational interest, Trilby is not entirely forgotten - if for no other reason, the character of the sinister hypnotist Svengali, a villain immortalized by John Barrymore in the 1931 film (SVENGALI), makes his appearance here. Sadleir 1675; Wolff 1952a Tan cloth printed in gold and green, spine a bit sunned. In quarter blue morocco slipcase with chemise With illustrations by the author. 1 vols. 8vo First American edition (same year as the English edition), and the first with these illustrations.
