AUTHOR: HUGO, Victor [Edith Wharton]

TITLE: Notre-Dame de Paris. Tome II. (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame).

PUBLISHER: Paris: Charpentier, Libraire-Editeur, 1850.

DESCRIPTION: FROM THE LIBRARY OF EDITH WHARTON. 1 vol., volume 2 of 2 only, with her bookplates to the front pastedown, one from "Pavillon Colombe" her home in France and the other "Land's End" her home in Newport. Bound in contemporary 1/4 french maroon morocco, raised bands, gilt lettered spine.

CONDITION: Spine sunned, hinges fine, head and foot of spine fine. Housed in a maroon cloth clamshell slipcase, gilt lettered green morocco spine label.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The "Mount" in Lenox, MA purchased for $2.6 million almost the entirety of Edith Wharton's 2,600 volume library in 2005 from a British bookseller who has cared for the collection since 1984. In 35 years we have only had one other very dull book from her library. We know this is only volume 2 but it's a good one and the cleanest shirt you'll find in the hamper.
