New York: Cassell Publishing Co., 1891. Translated from the French by A. Estoclet. With over eighty illustrations from the originals by George Roux. iv, 373 p.: frontispiece, 79 pages of illustrations; 19 cm. (7½ inches). Gold fine diagonal-ribbed cloth with gilt-stamped spine and cover titles, with black-stamped illustrations on the spine and front cover. Blind-stamped Greek key pattern on back cover. Circular vignette on p. iv. The pages of illustrations are not included in the pagination. Former owner's name inscribed on front free endpaper: Wm. A. Steel. First English-language edition, later printing. In the first American edition, published by Cassell in 1890, the illustrations were printed as plates (the image on one side of the leaf and the otherside blank). Later printings by Cassell contained the same illustrations printed as pages (one illustration on each side of the leaf). Publisher's advertisements contained in other known examples of the later printing are for books published in 1892 or 1894. This copy contains the illustrations printed as pages, not as plates, but does not contain any publisher's advertisements. This suggests that this may have been printed after the first printing in 1890 or in 1891. Myers, 7.
