AFTER DARK

Early edition. Publisher's Talwin Morris designed original blue cloth with titles in gilt and Art Nouveau decoration in grey and green to the boards and spine. Illustrated with six black and white plates by Gordon Browne. A very good copy, the binding firm with a lean to the spine, the extremities slightly rubbed. The contents, with some light spotting to the closed text block edge, are otherwise clean and without inscriptions or stamps.

A collection of six ghost stories, Wilkie Collins' first short story collection. Gordon Browne was a prolific illustrator of magazines, novels and children's literature and the son of Hablot Knight Browne who, under the name 'Phiz' is best known for illustrating the works of Charles Dickens.
