Description

A late 19th-century edition of The Wide, Wide World by Elizabeth Wetherell, published in London by The Liquor Tea Company in 1879.

This classic Victorian novel is presented in a decorative blue cloth binding, featuring gilt titling and black embossed detailing, along with a central floral panel to the front board.

The interior includes an illustrated frontispiece and printed title page confirming the “Special Edition,” with period typography and layout typical of Victorian publishing.

The work itself, first published in the mid-19th century, was widely read and is considered an important example of early domestic and moral fiction, particularly popular among Victorian readers.

The binding reflects the decorative sensibilities of the period, combining both aesthetic appeal and durability, while the inclusion of illustration adds to its collectability.

This edition stands as both a readable literary work and a display-worthy antique volume.
