Jules VERNE Vingt Mille lieues sous les mers

Jules VERNE

Vingt Mille lieues sous les mers

Hetzel, Paris 1898, Grd. in-8 (18x27,5cm), 434pp., relié.


Jules VERNE
Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers
[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]
Hetzel | Paris 1898 | 8vo (18 x 27.5 cm)
| 434 pp | publisher's cloth
New edition, illustrated with 111 drawings by Neuville and Riou. Catalogue AJ for 1898-1899.
Publisher's illustrated cloth with the gilt Globe. Upper plate signed Blancheland, Engel bookbinder. Beautiful upper plate with bright golds. Corners and joints showing signs of rubbing. Good spine, with clean golds, but 2 small cuts in the spine-ends and one tiny cut at the bottom. Small brown mark on the lighthouse vignette. Beautiful second board, despite a mark on the upper right corner. Some leaves slightly protruding. Some pale foxing but very fresh overall. The polychrome plate after p. 244 partly detached. This copy corresponds well to the second print of 1898, with 6 insert plates, but curiously and despite Jauzac's indications, there are only 2 color inserts, the others are in black, as the 2 elephants cloth copies.
Beautiful copy.
Undoubtedly the most famous of Jules Verne's novels, with the mythical figure of Captain Nemo and his legendary submarine, Nautilus.
