Contact seller5-star sellerSIGNED by Baumer on the colophon. 4to. 483 pp. (many pages uncut). 20 tipped in color plates with captioned tissue guards. Publisher's full vellum binding with gilt illustration & lettering to front cover & spine; oval color plate affixed to front; deckled page edges; color illustrated endpapers. Boards are slightly bowed; lacki…ng ribbon ties; some scuffing to covers; upper front hinge just starting; a very good copy; still a lovely binding. Vanity Fair follows the lives of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley amid their friends and families during and after the Napoleonic Wars. It is sometimes considered the "principal founder" of the Victorian domestic novel. The story is framed as a puppet play, and the narrator, despite being an authorial voice, is somewhat unreliable. The serial was a popular and critical success; the novel is now considered a classic and has inspired several audio, film, and television adaptations. - wiki. Deluxe Edition Limited to 350 copies of which this is Number 164 SIGNED by Baumer.

Add to basketCondition: Fine. Original publisher's pictorial vellum with gilt to spine and front board. Pictorial endpapers. Boards slightly bowed and lacking silk ties. Some offsetting to endpapers and occasional light foxing not affecting illustrations. Number 38 of 350 copies signed by the illustrator, and complete with twenty mounted col…or plates with titled tissue-guards. Considered by its author to be a novel without a hero, Vanity Fair follows the path of the social climbing Becky Sharp as she seeks to improve her position within the Victorian social strata. One of literature's most important early iterations of the female anti-hero, Miss Sharp helped to expose the truth that women were not merely domesticated angels but could be just as ambitious and driven as their male counterparts; and her foil Amelia reveals that even an apparent paragon of femininity was imperfect. A contemporary reviewer noted "Thackeray's theory of characterization proceeds generally on the assumption that the acts of men and women are directed not by principle but by instincts.There is not a person in the book who excites the reader's respect, and not one who fails to excite his interest. The morbid quickness of the author's perceptions of the selfish element, even in his few amiable characters, is a constant source of surprise. The novel not only has no hero, but implies the non-existence of heroism" (Contemporary Atlantic Monthly review). A literary tour de force, transformed into a popular film starring Reese Witherspoon. The present version is beautifully illustrated with great humor by Lewis Christopher Edward Baumer (August 8, 1870 - October 25, 1963) the English caricaturist who worked for more than fifty years for the British magazine Punch. He illustrated or contributed illustrations to more than forty books between 1897 and 1936. Fine. Signed.
