Description: A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH by Jules Verne and published by Scribner, Armstrong & Co., New York in 1874 (undated). Popular edition. 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" hardcover with red cloth and gilt lettering & decorations. 305 pages plus 10 pages of publisher's ads. 20 b&w plates. This copy is in need of restoration. Red cloth covers have wear and soiling. Spine is broken with pages 141-162 loose. Some staining on title page. Toned endpapers. Back hinge is cracked. Worth of restoring! Edward Riou's plates contain vivid depictions of Verne's dinosaurs and other prehistoric monsters battling for supremacy in their subterranean environment. The explorers are also captured in the engravings, as they make their way from Iceland, through the center of the earth, out onto Stromboli. All books safely packed for safe travels. I'm liquidating a storage locker filled with rare books, paper, and photographs so please see my other auctions. 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Please let me know if you have any questions.
