[Author Unknown] – The Jackdaw of Rheims | First Edition, 1880 | Large Format Hardcover (38 × 28 cm)
A rare large-format first edition (1880) featuring 36 pages of text and beautifully illustrated plates telling The Ballad of a Jackdaw Who Steals the Cardinal’s Ring. All illustrations remain clear, bright, and undamaged.
The book is in fair condition: the cover is worn and soiled, the spine partially severed, with the top edge rubbed and the base shelf-scuffed. Internally, pages are loose with some foxing throughout, but the text block is complete and fully collated.
Two copies are available in similar condition.
Condition: Fair; loose pages; worn cover; illustrations intact.
