Subject to the terms below, we offer:

REDUCED Tess of the D'Urbervilles Thomas Hardy 1st Illus Ed 1st P SIGNED SCARCE

A Fine copy of the First Illustrated Edition of this major work by Thomas Hardy of which only 325 copies were issued, in the Publisher's vellum spine and marbled boards (modest rubbing to each board's bottom edge with some rubs through, and a quite small rub through to the front board's upper right corner -- no dust jacket, no slipcase, as usually seen). The volume contains forty-one wood engraved plates by Vivien Gribble, as well as a fold-out map of Wessex to the rear. Copies are scarce to the market, and copies in a condition as nice as is this copy are QUITE SCARCE INDEED. A Fine copy, SIGNED BY THOMAS HARDY.
