First edition in French. 4to. 276 pp. Original pebbled light yellow cloth, front cover design signed A. Souze, bevelled boards, all edges gilt. Paris, A Hennuyer, Imprimeur-Editeur. Biblioteque nouvelle de la Jeunesse. The first French translation of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, copiously illustrated by Achille Sirouy, a lovely copy in the original cloth. ?Remarkable craftsmanship went into the creation of Les Aventures de Huck Finn, l?ami de Tom Sawyer (1886), making it a beautiful book . The embossed and colorful cover, adorned with a remarkably dynamic representation of the novel?s main characters reminiscent of the nascent art of the comic strip, the gilt-edged pages, and the outstanding quality of the paper and binding, all make the first French translation stand out as a luxurious artifact whose textual content mattered less than its outward appearance.? (Ronald Jenn, Veronique Channaut, 'Translations of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in France (1886?2015)' in Journal of Transnational American Studies 12.2 (2021), p.49). William Little Hughes' translation is rather a sanitised affair, being aimed more squarely at school children than Twain's original. Preliminaries rather foxed, cloth lightly marked and age-toned, still a nice, bright copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Collectible: Very Good. First Edition. First Edition, Second issue with illustration on verso of half title and pages IX, X, & XII instead labeled XII, XIII, & XVI. Laid in is a card inscribed "Truly Yours", and SIGNED "Mark Twain". The card is of heavy stock and was previously attached to another sheet of paper, the remains of which are on the verso. A glue stain is present on the bottom edge of the card and very minute amounts of foxing are present on card face. The original cloth covers of the book have had the corners professionally touched up and the original spine is professionally refurbished although still age darkened with the gilt considerably less bright than the front panel. There is an ink name on the front endpaper, the hinges have been stabilized with Japanese paper, and the first contents page has a short tear near the gutter. The pages have light age toning, there is some soiling on the rear pastedown and endpaper, the front endpaper has two small tears and a tiny chip, and there is off setting on the second and third front endpapers from a prior occupant and which bleeds through faintly to the illustration and title page. The binding is still quite solid. Signed.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Collectible: Very Good. First Edition. Publisher's original 1/2 leather, with page edges, pastedowns, and endpapers all marbled. One of just 500 copies printed (Raptis Rare Books, internet article, March 2014) and comes with a copy of the infamous "priapic plate", one of 100 proof copies made by Merle Johnson from an original leaf from an unbound copy found in the collection of Willard S. Morse.///LAID in is a hand written response, declining an invitation, on a folded Quarry Farm labeled note, dated "Sept. 17/03", and SIGNED, "S. L. Clemens". (Quarry Farm was the home of Susan Langdon Crane, sister of Mark Twain's wife Olivia, and often the summer residence of the Twains. Mark Twain wrote, at least in part, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn while at Quarry Farm). The note sheet was created with a fold to yield 4 writing surfaces although this message is confined solely to the letterhead panel; The note was then manually folded, horizontally. It was written 5 weeks prior to the Twain family leaving for Italy and was penned during the last summer they spent together at Quarry Farm, as Olivia died in Italy the following June. ///CONDITION OF THE NOTE: Very good-near fine, with a touch of toning, faint soiling, two miniscule specks on the letterhead panel, the faint horizontal crease, and light peeling on the rear panel where it had been affixed to some other surface. ///CONDITION OF THE BOOK: The spine and corners have been professionally restored (corners still showing the bumped tips) and the marbled surfaces have some scratches and nicks. Interior condition problems: 1.) The pastedown/endpaper hinges have been reinforced, 2.) the front endpaper has a 1/8"x 1/4" upper corner chip, 3.) there is scattered light foxing on the front and rear the preliminary pages, 4.) leaves 3-18 have areas of (food?) staining heaviest on page 17 with bleeding back to the copyright page and finally vanishing on page 36, 5.) the bottom corner of page 23-24 has a 1/2"x7/8" chip. 6.) the rest of the text has occasional soiling, some perimeter stains, a few tipped corners, one dog-eared page, and most pages have light perimeter toning. ///ISSUE POINTS: The tissue guarded front plate is second state with no cloth visible under the bust. The title/copyright leaf is integral (lack of uniform opinion on this point), "Him and another man" is incorrectly listed at page 88 (instead of page 87 where it appears), page 57 has "with the was" on line 11 from the bottom, page 143 is missing the "l" in "Col." (which is part of the illustration at the top line of the text) and has the broken "b"in "body" on line 7, the final 5 of page 155 is lacking (again, lacks consensus), the illustration on page 283 is bound in with the noticeable curve on the fly of Silas Phelp's trousers, and the final leaf is blank. ///CONDITION OF THE PROOF PLATE: The plate is lightly toned and there are some creases, and a small hole (1/8" x 1/16") on the right edge; repaired on the verso with a small piece of tape. ///OVERALL: in spite of the aforementioned flaws, this is a very good and quite scarce 130 year old volume. Several of these leather bound copies are in university and library collections, while others have surely been destroyed or lost, leaving precious few for private collections. Signed.
