Sold by Donnelly Antiques Ltd

Description

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, (née Stevenson; 1810 - 1865), often referred to as Mrs Gaskell, was an English novelist and short story writer. Her novels offer a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of Victorian society, including the very poor, and are of interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature.

This 7 volume set, with a few illustrations, is bound, by the highly regarded Riviere and Son, in blue polished half leather with gilt decorated spines and top edges, marbled boards and pastedowns. The books are 19.2cms high, 13.7cms deep and whilst varying in width have a total run of some 19.6cms.

Externally the spines are somewhat faded, there are some scuffs and marks to the leather and wear to the extremities. Internally they are tightly bound and clean albeit a little age toned. Volume I carries an undated inscription to S Hopping - A souvenir of St Martin in the Fields Restoration Fund from M Ramsay.
