1858-59 the Virginians by W. Thackeray. First Issue, First Edition. 2 Book Set.

19th century
Description

A first edition, first issue of 'The Virginians' by William Thackeray. Published by Bradbury & Evans, Volume I printed in 1858 and Volume II printed in 1859.

Line 33 of p.207 has the first issue misprint of 'actresses' instead of 'ancestress' and chapters 47 and 48 are misnumbered.

Half bound in a dark green leather with marbled boards. The spines boast five raised bands, gilt detail and maroon leather title panels. The bindings show shelf wear to the spine and board extremities and there is some light scuffing to the marble boards in places but overall the set is in a very good condition. The boards of both volumes remain firmly attached.

Marble endpapers. Ink inscription to front free endpaper of Volume I. Some browning to the frontispiece and title page in both volumes. All other pages remain intact and in a very good condition.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
