THE HARMSWORTH MONTHLY PICTORIAL MAGAZINE / THE HARMSWORTH LONDON MAGAZINE / THE LONDON MAGAZINE VOLS 1 -12, 1898-9 - JULY 1904
Published by HARMSWORTH BROS / THE AMALGAMATED PRESS, LONDON, 1898
Book First Edition
Decorated Cloth. Condition: Very Good Plus. No Jacket. ARTHUR RACKHAM; T H ROBINSON, etc (illustrator). 1st Edition. An extremely attractive set of the Harmsworth magazine in 12 bound volumes. The contemporary cloth bindings reflect the progress of the magazine through its different incarnations, from the Harmsworth Magazine through the Harmsworth London Magazine to the London Magazine, the latter two printed by The Amalagamated Press. The books are classic Victorian / Edwardian collections, with fascinating articles and stories by the popular writers of the day, including H G Wells, E Nesbit, Rafael Sabatini and Cutcliffe Hyne, among many others. The bindings are in excellent condition, in mint green with gilt and black debossed design, creating a uniform binding set on the shelf. There are some variants. The majority of bindings use Arabic numerals for the volume number, though with Vols 1 and 2 using Roman numerals, hence the numbering goes I, II, 3, 4, etc. The bindings are clean and tight with sharp edges and surprisingly bright and clean cloth. They have clearly been well kept, and the high quality China clay paper is white, bright and clean, with solid, attractive bindings. In all, this is a lovely set, and an excellent example of the high quality magazine format for which the late Victorian / Edwardian era is rightly famous. Offered at £25 per volume plus shipping. Please note, this heavy set will require extra shipping. Approx 22 kilos when packed.
