First edition of the influential 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. Bound in the publishers's simple cloth covers with label, with the intention that the owner would have it rebound. 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. 8vo. Cracking to top of rear joint. Staining/rubbing to rear cover. Light tanning to page edges, else clean and tight. Good.
