Outstandingly tight 'n' bright first illustrated edition of this novel set in upstate New York. The only novel penned by this banker (1846-98), it was first published posthumously in 1898 after his death from tuberculosis at age 52 and became an 1899 bestseller, justifying this illustrated edition soon after. Thanks to the rarely-present jacket the book itself is uncannily sharp, with all gilt bright and fresh. Quite scarce as such. .
