Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
Uniformly bound in the publisher's original binding.
'The Virginians: A Tale of the Last Century' is a historical novel by William Makepeace Thackeray which forms a sequel to his 'Henry Esmond' and is also loosely linked to 'Pendennis'.
It tells the story of Henry Esmond's twin grandsons, George and Henry Warrington. Henry's romantic entanglements with an older woman lead up to his taking a commission in the British army and fighting under the command of General Wolfe at the capture of Quebec.
William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863) was a British novelist, author and illustrator. He is known for his satirical works, particularly his 1848 novel 'Vanity Fair', a panoramic portrait of British society.
Volume I contains eleven illustrations, including a photogravure frontispiece, collated and complete.
Volume II contains ten illustrations, collated and complete.
Volume III contains nine illustrations, collated and complete.
Condition
Uniformly bound in the publisher's original green cloth binding. Externally, smart, with slight bumping to heads and tails of the spines and extremities. Spines slightly sunned. The odd mark to the boards, more so to Volume III. Internally, all volumes firmly bound. A few light spots to the first few pages of each volume, and the odd spot throughout, but otherwise pages generally bright and clean.
