First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Paper back book bound in dark and light blue and white, Ivers' American Series # 253. Cover states published on July 24th, 1891 and as such this copy predates the first English edition by three months. This copy with 334 pp and text of last page being identical to the first edition. Green and Gibson in their bibliography note this pirated edition and date but their comment on this date it on July 25, not the 24th as on the cover. Their hypothesis is that only the covers were dated as such to escape the new copyright laws. This copy with both covers chipped and the rear being detached. Pages are tanned but supple. Covers rather frail. An interesting dilemma, is this, a pirate, the true first? Could it be unique?
First edition thus. First Wyeth-illustrated edition of Doyle's medieval adventure tale, in scarce original dust jacket. N. C. Wyeth imbues Doyle's knights, ladies, and even rogues of THE WHITE COMPANY with personality, showing the tale in a middle ages landscape through a Brandywine lens. This remarkable copy retains its scarce dust jacket. 9.25'' x 7''. Original maroon cloth boards with color pictorial paste-on. Original unclipped (no price) color pictorial dust jacket. Top edge gilt. Color pictorial endpapers of a group of armored knights. Color pictorial title page with 13 color plates. [16], 364 pages. Jacket with edgewear and some chipping, particularly to corners and spine ends; medium spot of loss at middle of spine, not affecting text. Binding with a touch of shelfwear. Sharp and clean.

The dustjacket is quite torn, heavily edge-rubbed, separated along folds and just barely good with its original: "Price $2.50" at the bottom of the inside front flap. On the rear panel which is torn and missing large pieces is the list of Cosmopolitan Color Books for Young People beginning with A Tale of Two Cities and ending with Boys and Girls of Bookland. All priced "Each $2.50". Internally the book is very clean and tight, and the plates are resplendent with the Wyeth magic. First Edition, thus.
