1890106341890. Translated from the French by A. Estoclet. Illustrated by George Roux. New York: Cassell Publishing Company n.d. 1890. Original light blue cloth pictorially decorated in black.<br/> <br/> First American Edition also the first edition in English -- of this tale in which Verne as usual combines atypical characters with a geographic region unknown to his French readers. Quoting from a contemporary review cited in T&M -- Like most of M. Jules Verne's books it is the story of a journey. Some circus acrobats wish to travel from California to their native France and having no money they determine to go in their caravan northward to Bering's Straits crossing on the ice and make their way through Siberia into Europe. M. Jules Verne's travellers are generally successful: in spite of robbers icebergs and the Russian police the bold Frenchmen triumphantly reach their goal. Pictured on the front cover is the troupe with their horse-drawn wagon climbing into the Sierras while the spine shows one of them fleeing a grizzly bear. This undated American edition CAESAR was published sometime in the autumn of 1890 probably late September; Sampson Low's London edition CESAR was not published until over a year later in November 1891. This copy is in light blue cloth; we have also had copies in olive green and in mint green no priority. It is a near-fine copy light foxing on the leaves within but the light-colored cloth is remarkably clean and bright and there is scarcely any wear. There is a Christmas 1890 ownership inscription on the front flyleaf. Taves & Michaluk V037; Myers 7. unknown
