This wonderful Victorian edition of Willis the Pilot was written as a sequel to Swiss Family Robinson. It was published by Charles H Clarke. The book is undated but after some research, I've managed to date it to the late 1860's.
It's bound in original brown cloth with stunning gilt decoration to the front and spine. It's in near fine condition, with light wear to the corners and board edges and crushing to the spine ends. There are some tiny dark marks to the cloth and minor foxing to the text block edges.
Inside, there are no inscriptions and the pages are clean and bright with occasional foxing. Some of the pages remain uncut along the top edge which means the book has never been read cover to cover in almost 170 years of life.
The book features 24 illustrations and measures approximately 17.5cm x 10.5cm x 3cm.
