London, The Art Union, 1855. Reprint. Hardcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall. Quite handsomely and sturdily rebound reprint edition in a crushed red Morocco leather hardcover format. Gilt-stamped lettering to cover and spine, and gilt-stamped dentelles interior and illustrations to front cover. Compartments divided by five raised bands. Scuffing to tips, edges, spine head and foot, and with considerable scuffing to and loss of gilt borders on rear panel. Tank-like of appearance, though, heavy, tall quarto size in format. Unpaginated initial text, but then 30 duotone engravings from original drawings by various artists such as J. Tenniel, H.C. Selous, F.W. Hulme, C.W. Cope, T. Faed, J. Holland and others, as then engraved by Williams, Dalziel, Thompson, Linton, Measom, and many others. A foxed tissue-guarded portrait frontis of Byron, previous owner's bookplate inside front flap, and another plate inside rear panel with a penned "1,378" (perhaps an accession number?).

A Wikipedia entry about the Byronic heroic epic poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage notes that the poem was published between 1812 and 1818 and describes "the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man, who is disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry and looks for distraction in foreign lands." 275 pp. and including Notes to Canto the Fourth.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
