(Chapman), and facsimile title pages to each volume. The third edition first appeared in 1933, and was reprinted 14 times between 1944 and 1988 before this 1989 printing. ***Please note that there is splitting to the paper at the gutter of the half-title page of "Emma" but the binding is still firm (please see scans) (probably a production fault as it's the second example of "Emma" we have handled with this fault). Each of the six volumes is otherwise in near fine condition in black cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles and lining to the spine. Boards clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases - just a light indentation mark to the front board of "Sense and Sensibility" (please see scans). No reading lean to the bindings. Corners sharp. Page block edges clean.

Dustwrappers otherwise bright. ***2832 pages in total.193mm x 125mm. ***A complete six-volume set of the works of Jane Austen - extremely hard to find now in any edition in their original dustwrappers in such nice collectable condition - albeit with the above-mentioned faults.

Brock, C. E. First Brock editions of the complete novels of Jane Austen. Each volume with 24 colour plates by C. E. Brock. 8vo. C. E. Brock (1870-1938) first appeared as an illustrator of Jane Austen within Macmillan's 1895-7 Illustrated Standard Novels series (with introductions by Austin Dobson), Brock illustrating only Pride and Prejudice, and Hugh Thomson illustrating the other 5 titles. This series was only illustrated in black and white, which better suited Thomson's skilful use of line. A decade later, J.M. Dent, realising Brock's potential as a colourist, commissioned him to redo the Pride and Prejudice suite, this time in colour, and to create colour illustrations for the other five Austen titles. Dent's "Series of English Idylls" thus presents the first Brock illustrations for the complete Austen set and the first in colour. Brock was elected as a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour in 1908, and certainly his vision of Austen's world, its gentle graces and sharp ironies, is best expressed, as here, in colour. Furthermore, the colourful costumes and interior decor depicted in these illustrations are reputedly accurate to the Regency period, for Charles Brock and his brother Henry collected antique furniture and clothing so that their friends and relations could model for the artists in their Cambridge studio. Original gilt decorative vellum, top edges gilt, others untrimmed, pictorial endpapers. Near Fine, in custom cloth slipcases Each volume with 24 colour plates by C. E. Brock. 8vo First Brock editions of the complete novels of Jane Austen.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. This is a delightfully decorated copy of the Jane Austen classics, and includes an essay titled, "A Biographical Notice of the Author." American publishers in the late nineteenth century discovered that one of the ways to make their books stand out in a flooded market of mass-produced books was with ornate covers such as the one sported here: a brown cloth cover and spine holding black embossed decorative elements of every kind of description, as well as a fairytale gothic castle clinging to a waterside clifftop under a crescent moon and stars, all within its own frame. And that's before the gold bands, with their own blind stamped decoration, containing the title and publisher's name! (Perhaps that overabundance of decorative work left the artisans too exhausted to add anything except a blind stamped frame around the back cover.) There is only one illustration within the book itself, a plate titled "In the Drawing Room," a frontispiece behind tissue paper, depicting a gathering of young women from "Pride and Prejudice. Interestingly, they appear to be wearing dresses with the hoop skirts of the mid-nineteenth century, not the fashions of the era in which Austen wrote her masterpiece. It could be they are dressed that way because the original version of this edition was published in 1859, when such dresses were fashionable. The Library of Congress catalog entry for this title lists that as the publication date, but with Derby & Jackson of New York as the publisher. The publisher of this copy is Porter & Coates, according to the title page, but no publication date appears anywhere in the book itself. It is definitely late nineteenth century, however: An owner's name is written on the front flysheet dated as 1889, and some reputable sources that display photographs confirming their copy is the same edition as ours say it was published in 1884. This is NOT one of the Alta Editions that Porter & Coates published between 1867 and 1895, however. Those books are labeled as such as part of their decorative stamping, and nothing like that appears on this copy. The cover is in surprisingly good condition for a book of its age, with only some light bumping on the corners and slightly more damage on the ends of the spine, particularly the bottom, being worth mentioning. The pages are also in good shapethere is some expected age tanning, but the block is holding together well and we only found one tear in the margin of one page, and no marks. Even better, the paper itself is not nearly as brittle as that found in many books of this era. Where things start to fall down is at the hinges, especially at the front end papers. The cover is definitely starting to separate from the text block. However, this should be easy to repair, and worth it for a collector of nineteenth-century decorative bindings. See our photos for details.
