    Description

    Illustrated

    The book's title comes from John Bunyan's allegorical story The Pilgrim's Progress, first published in 1678 and still widely read at the time of Thackeray's novel. "Vanity Fair" refers to a stop along the pilgrim's progress: a never-ending fair held in a town called Vanity, which is meant to represent man's sinful attachment to worldly things. Previous owner's ink inscription to front pastedown.

    Condition

    In a cloth binding. Externally, sound but with some wear to extremities and slight loss to head and tail of spine and with marks to boards. Internally, firmly bound. Generally bright and clean throughout with only the odd slight mark and offsetting from inscription to following page.
