Jules Verne.
The Black Indies. The Chancellor. Martin Paz. Ill. by Férat (Les Indes-noires) and Riou (Le Chancellor). Paris, Bibliothèque d'éducation et de récréation, Hetzel. SD (1877). Large double in-8. Publisher's cardboard in purple percaline "à la grenade". Lenègre bookbinder. Plate of Souze. Original blue endpapers. Printed by Gauthier-Villars. Gilt edges. First illustrated edition and first hardback, concomitant with the one "à la bannière". Only known copy, in double volume, in this color. Indeed, most of the known copies are brick. Spine unstained as often with this color. Lower spine cracked and endpapers split. Stiffness of the quires. A very rare binding in a very rare color that deserves a restoration that will give it back its former brilliance and would make it desirable to all Vernians...
