About the Item
A superb set of mostly first editions of the novels of R. D. Blackmore, a nice set uncommon to see of the late Victorian's writings.
Fourteen works by R. D. Blackmore in thirty-five volumes. Very scarce to see Blackmore's works in a set.
Smartly bound in a half morocco binding by W. J. Mansell.
This smart set includes almost the complete works of Blackmore.
Blackmore was one of the most famous novelists of the second half of the nineteenth century, best remember today for his 'Lorna Doone'.
This set includes;
'Clara Vaughan', complete in three volumes, published in 1864. The very scarce first edition. Half-title is present to each volume. Original publisher's cloth bound in the rear of each volume. Two pages of adverts to the rear of Volume III.
'Cradock Nowell', complete in three volumes, published in 1866. The uncommon first edition.
'The Maid of Sker', complete in three volumes, published in 1872. The very scarce first edition. Half-title is present to each volume.
