The Love Letters of Thomas Carlyle and buying Jane Welsh Volume One - Rare Antique Book - Illustrated Decorative Hardcover - 1908 Second Edition

The Love Letters of Thomas Carlyle and Jane Welsh Volume One
Edited by Alexander Carlyle
John Lane / 1909
Copyright 1908
Second Edition

This book has pretty purple cloth covers with gilt type and decoration as well as a bright gilt top edge. (Note: the book may appear blue on some devices.) The fore and bottom edges are deckled, as the pages were cut by the first reader. Some of the pages have tears along the fore edge, likely as a result of the initial cutting of the pages. There is some light wear along the edges and corners, with some bumping (see photos). The pages are clean and unmarked, for the most part. The endpapers are unmarked apart from some numbers written in pencil at the corner of the FFEP.
There are several detailed black and white illustrations (a sampling are shown) as well as two color illustrations (including the frontispiece, shown).

A hinge is cracked at the front of the book (shown), but the pages are secure.

Overall, this is a very pretty, rare and collectible book.
