The Portrait of a Lady - (in rare DJs - two vols. set)

James, Henry

Published by Houghton Mifflin, New York, 1909

About this Item

Houghton Mifflin, New York. (1909.) 427 pp, 437pp. Early printing with no date on the title page, and the last date on the copyright page is 1909, however the rear of the rare DJs list other works by Henry James, notably The Ivory Tower, and The Sense of the Past, both released posthumously in 1917. So while the books themselves would indicate a 1909 publication, the rare DJs would indicate at the very least, a publication of some 8 years later, in 1917. Both books in the two volume set are fine. They remain bright, tight and clean. Bindings and hinges are strong and sound. Pages and endpapers are clean. Blue ribbed cloth stamped in gilt on spine, with Henry James' signature embossed on front. Super-rare DJs are about fine with minor sunning to spine and one or two tiny, shallow chips at crown. A beautiful early copy of Henry James' most popular work, in fine condition, in its original rare DJs.
