NORTHANGER ABBEY; PERSUASION.

First edition with these illustrations. Two novels in one volume. Original dark red cloth with titles and elaborate decoration in gilt on the spine and upper board. All edges gilt. Decorative peacock endpapers. Illustrated with forty line drawings by Hugh Thomson. A very good or better copy, the binding firm, the spine lightly faded, the board corners and spine tips a little rubbed and bumped. The contents, with a contemporary inscription on the front free endpaper, some faint offsetting to the title page and frontispiece, light spotting to the late pages and a crease to the edge of page 255, are otherwise clean throughout. An attractive example.

This is the first Hugh Thomson illustrated edition of Jane Austen's first and last completed novels. Published in Macmillan's "Illustrated Standard Novels" series.
