hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: London, William Heinemann, 1898 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [vi], 380 (est.). Condition Report: Very Good. The book maintains its structural integrity and remains tightly bound in its original publisher's red cloth, free from major flaws or tears to the bindings or pages. The vibrant gilt titling and the crisp, unfaded black guillotine illustration on the front board present exceptionally well. The rear board is clean and largely unmarked. The spine ends show only minor bumping and rubbing indicative of careful shelf-storage. Internally, while the binding is tight, the text block displays characteristic signs of age, including noticeable darkening and tanning to the deckled page edges. Occasional light foxing is present to the preliminary pages, including the title page, but the majority of the leaves remain clean and tidy, ensuring it remains an attractive, highly readable copy. Catalogue Note: First UK Edition. Translated from the Provençal by Catharine A. Janvier. This edition expressly notes its protection under the Berne Treaty and prohibits importation into the United States of America. A prominent feature of this volume is the publisher's advertisement leaf facing the title page, which reproduces a facsimile letter from former Prime Minister W.E. Gladstone (dated August 13, 1896) praising Gras's earlier work, The Reds of the Midi. Based on early state markers, this copy was likely circulated as a publisher's presentation or review copy prior to widespread public distribution.
