Hardcover, leather and cloth. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Limited Edition. First McClure Edition (1893). Publisher's original hardcover binding in three-quarter red morocco leather with green cloth boards; gilt lettering and decorative device to spine. Binding sound and firm. Minor shelf wear to corners and boards; leather remains supple with light rubbing only. Frontispiece illustration present, with original tissue guard intact. Pages clean, bright, and unmarked throughout. No dust jacket, as issued. A well-preserved example of this finely produced McClure historical romance edition. Collector's Note: Joseph II and His Court is one of L. Mühlbach's popular historical novels exploring the political and personal life of the Enlightenment-era Habsburg court. Issued in English translation by Adelaide de V. Chaudron, McClure's editions are especially admired for their handsome mixed leather-and-cloth bindings and quality paper. Copies retaining clean interiors and intact frontispiece tissue guards are increasingly uncommon, making this a desirable example for collectors of nineteenth-century European historical fiction and McClure publications.
