First edition

Jules VERNE Hector Servadac, voyages et aventures à travers le monde solaire

Jules VERNE

Hector Servadac, voyages et aventures à travers le monde solaire

J.Hetzel, Paris 1877, Grd. in-8 (18x27,5cm), 395pp., relié.


first edition illustrated with drawings of Phillipoteaux, engraved by Laplante.
Cartonnage said "to the Copernican sphere" red. Engel binder down the first plate. second board with palmettes with frames of Greek and central macaroon. This cardboard is considered one of the greatest aesthetic successes.
Beautiful first plate with brilliant golds, with a small dark area on 2cm. Edged corners and edges. Good back but rubbed headgear. second board with small traces of friction and small spots. Some rare foxing in the margins on a very fresh paper. A sheet very slightly out. Corners a little soft. Good copy overall.
The characters of this novel were expatriated on the comet Gallia, due to the remoteness of the sun, they undergo a series of adventures. Jules Verne used all the astronomical knowledge known to develop his novel, which destined it more for an adult audience, even if the fantasy and the lightness are present.
