First edition

Jules VERNE L'île à hélice

Jules VERNE

L'île à hélice

Hetzel, Paris 1895, Grd. in-8 (18x28cm), 423pp., relié.


Edition illustrated with 80 drawings by Bennett and 12 full-page color. Catalog D 1895 attesting to the first edition.
Cartonnage editor said "the portrait stuck." Lenègre signed on the anchor plate. Lenègre and Co. tail back. beautiful top plate, a small scratch in the portrait. A small white mark on bottom border. Coins barely rubbed. Back to the well marked golds, but collapsed caps. Note that the thumbnail to the lighthouse is no longer blue but blue sky night. Second course good, but a dark spot.
Paper remarkably fresh, completely free of foxing, very significant.
Very nice copy, despite minor defects.
Science fiction novel in which an island containing an entire city, is powered by propellers. The protagonists are a quartet of musicians, allowing Verne to transmit his love of music. several acerbic remarks about wagner it says.
