Reprint of the influential, attractive special edition of Gaskell's popular comic novel on rural and small town life in Victorian Britain. Lavishly illustrated by Hugh Thomson with over one hundred b/w drawings and decorations. Gilt decoration to spine and cover. All edges gilt. Significant for starting the popular gilt on green cloth bindings that became known as the Cranford series, the most notable example would be the Peacock edition of Pride and Prejudice. Previous owner's signature to half title. Rubbing to edges, slight cocking to spine. Occasional spotting within, else contents clean. Covers bright. Nice copy. Very good.
