187392157Paris: Bibliothèque d'Education et de Récréation J. Hetzel 1873. Fine. Exceptionally rare edition published barely more than 80 days after the first Bibliothèque d'Education et de Récréation J. Hetzel Paris s. d. 1873 11.2 x 18 cm relié Edition from the same year as the first edition of remarkable rarity bearing a fictitious statement of fifteenth edition yet featuring correct colophon 1872 at the foot of p. 312: ""1124-72"". Binding in brown half sheepskin spine with four raised bands ruled in black and decorated with double black compartments bearing central gilt fleurons marbled paper boards marbled endpapers and pastedowns speckled edges contemporary binding. A few minor foxing spots of no consequence. A fine copy attractivelyhoused in a contemporary binding published the same year as the first edition. The first edition was published on 30 January 1873. Our copy shares all its characteristics with the exception of the edition statement on the title page and the half-title leaf with a list of announcements whose verso carries ""EN PREPARATION : Le Pays des fourrures 2e partie I vol in-18 Le Pays des fourrures in-8 illustré. Le Tour du monde en 80 jours in-8 illustré."" The second part of Le Pays des fourrures was printed on 27 October 1873 the first part on 19 June. Our copy is in all likelihood a first edition reissued under a new title page and half-title. It was therefore put on sale between those two dates prior to the publication of the first illustrated edition of Le Tour du monde en 80 jours.   Bibliothèque d'Education et de Récréation J.

189395153London: Sampson Low Marston & Company 1893. Rare first edition of Verne's Gothic mystery novel that likely inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. Octavo original illustrated cloth gilt titles to the spine and front panel top edge gilt pictorial endpapers engraved frontispiece illustrated with numerous engravings. In very good condition. Scarce and desirable. Verne's The Castle of the Carpathians centres on the story of Count Franz de Telek a visitor to the village of Werst in the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania who is inspired to visit the region after hearing that the town's villagers believe that the devil has come to inhabit its castle.

1914EXP3-B-2London: Sampson Low Marston and Co. Ltd. 1914. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 8" by 6". Georges Roux. A scarce first UK edition of Jules Verne's dark science fiction novel. In good order and a particularly clean copy -this work is notorious for heavy foxing due to the paper used. This is one of the last novels by French pioneer science fiction writer Jules Verne and is a sequel to Robur the Conqueror. At the time Verne wrote the novel his health was failing and Master of the World is a "black novel" filled with the fear of the coming of tyrants like the novel's villain Robur and totalitarianism. With a colourfully illustrated front board and spine showing the "Terror". With numerous illustrations by Georges Roux. In original pictorial cloth covered binding. Externally sound with slight shelfwear and bumping to extremities. Slight straining to front hinge. Internally generally firmly bound. Closed tear to gutter of one page.

1873143731873. a handsome copy Translated from the French. With Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Low & Searle 1873. 32 pp ads dated October 1872. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled all edges gilt.<br/><br/> First British Edition also the first edition in the English language. Three Englishmen. and three Russians. and their guide a bushman named Mokoum set out to measure the arc of a meridian in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. Everything is going well until war is declared between England and Russia. Kytasaari This tale was initially published in the original French in 1872 as AVENTURES DE TROIS RUSSES ET DE TROIS ANGLAIS DANS L'AFRIQUE AUSTRALE. Sampson Low's English edition titled MERIDIANA with the subtitle's nationalities reversed in favor of the Englishmen was issued in November 1872 but was dated 1873 as here. In the same month some of these copies printed and bound in England were exported to the U.S. and equipped with the title page of Scribner's import house Scribner Welford and Armstrong likewise dated 1873 -- technically the American issue of the first English edition and extremely scarce today. Scribner Armstrong sans Welford then published the first edition actually produced in America; there was also an unauthorized American edition by Shepard titled ADVENTURES IN THE LAND OF THE BEHEMOTH with an altered translation and fewer illustrations published on the very same day. This edition has one of the great Verne pictorial bindings: a phalanx of crocodiles hungrily approaches an oblivious man holding a parasol. This copy is in green cloth one of several colors used without priority and has an ad catalogue dated October 1872 -- which we think is the earliest date we have also seen October 1873. The volume is just a little askew as always and a few gatherings stand slightly proud but this is a fine bright copy without any restoration or "improvement" of any kind. An early Verne edition that is quite scarce in this condition. Taves & Michaluk V009; Myers 39. unknown books
147412Amiens 12 July no year. Rare autographed letter signed by the father of science fiction Jules Verne. One page in French 32mo addressed "Cher Monsieur" the letter reads in full translated "Amiens July 12 I was absent when your letter arrived here. I am delighted you are happy with your business and that your French purchases are the most liked in your house. As for what you are asking me about the government boats it will be necessary to meet someone from the office of the Minister of the Navy and I know no one there. If by chance something turns up I will do all I can to help you. Jules Verne." Verne undertook several long voyages in his life which likely contributed to the detailed quality of his famous adventure novels 'Voyages extraordinaires.' Five of his trips including two to Gibraltar and Malta took place on the 150-foot Saint Michel III steam yacht purchased in 1877. This letter was likely written during the time when Verne was considered a yachtsman. Framed with a portrait of Verne. In near fine condition. The piece measures 13.3 inches by 11 inches. Jules Verne is considered by many to be the father of science fiction with a prodigious oeuvre of novels and short fiction. unknown

187584651Paris: Truchelut 1875. Fine. Truchelut Paris 1875 6 x 10.50 cm une feuille Original albumen photograph of writer Jules Verne in carte-de-visite format. Rare. One photograph mounted on card. In upper margin: Truchelut. Lower margin: Photographie Universelle. Publisher's advertisement on verso. A later printing at the Bibliothèque Nationale and that of Amiens after 1880. Fine print some minor dark spots. Forgotten by the history of photography Truchelut was one of its pioneers. He was one of Daguerre's 15 preparators and filed several patents related to photography including the panotype which allowed obtaining a photograph on fabric. He developed this process by offering to create paintings based on carte-de-visite photographs for his public. In 1880 Truchelut partnered with his son-in-law Valkman and the cards would henceforth bear both their names which is why this photograph was taken between 1871 when Truchelut resumed the Photographie universelle and 1880. While most studios went bankrupt after the Commune Truchelut was one of the few to continue prospering. Truchelut unknown

1871154<p><strong>VINGT MILLE LIEUES SOUS LES MERS by Jules Verne</strong></p><p><strong>Hetzel Paris December 1871. </strong></p><p><strong>1st edition 2nd impression.</strong></p><p>The exploits of the jaded genius Captain Nemo's war on a warring world as witnessed and thwarted by the brave intellectual Professor Arronax. Widely recognised as Verne's greatest work of fiction cited as the first ever venture into science-fiction this landmark novel has been turned into many exciting movies and translated into every language.</p><p>Extremely rare first edition of the classic novel in Hetzel's double-volume binding with blank space above the cherub on title page. A number of early print anomalies and errors are noted on the accompanying certificate which the buyer may use to demonstrate this book's authenticity as a First Edition Second Impression issued by Hetzel in December 1871 a month after the first impression release. The volume for sale here includes several noted first impression print anomalies though the legend under the illustration on page 121 confirms it as a Second Impression of the First Edition.</p><p>Condition: Very Good. The book is covered in a protective outer sheet but has light surface scoring to the covers see photos though curiously none of this appears on the spine leather at all as though the covers were worn on purpose perhaps in order to give a more antiquarian effect - some old French booksellers were let us say eccentric. The interior is overall Very Good with some foxing spots see photos though most pages are clean with the notable exception of the last sheet which has an old stain at the head of the page. One or two pages have closed edge tears of an inch or so nothing serious. No writing inside. Otherwise no pages are turned torn or missing.</p><p>Please note the books described as "First Edition" on Abebooks are nothing of the sort and should not be allowed to say so. The book for sale here is a genuine First Edition of the novel. This page link shows a good overview by another bookseller of the noted early misprints and anomalies which have been independently noted in the First Edition of Vingt Mille Lieues Sous Les Mers Jules Verne: Book: Details: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea - ANash</p><p>You can see that several of these anomalies appear in the volume for sale here and therefore be certain that you are buying an extremely rare book. All of these errors were cleared up and amended by the publishers in time for the launch of their Second Edition issued in September 1872. The First Edition ran from November 1871 with the Second Impressions released in time for Christmas in December 1871 and with two more releases of the First Editions in 1872 most of which were mixed impressions using older sheets in with newer ones. In fact I will also be listing such a copy here which was bound with two others of Jules Verne's popular contemporary novels.</p><p>Apart from the blank space above the cherub on the title page the other definitive quality of the First Editions is that they were printed by Jules Bonaventure of Paris as this one was with all later editions being printed by Gauthier-Villars.</p><p>Postage of this book will be determined according to the buyer's location and the services available to it so the cost will be worked out after purchase then added on. This service will be charged at cost only to the buyer with no profit made in the process and an invoice for it can be presented if desired please request.</p> Hetzel hardcover
1876146271876. a handsome set Together three volumes. Translated from the French by W.H.G. Kingston. Second Edition. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1876. 3 pp undated ads in Part III. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt. First English Edition second impression of all three volumes that were sold separately but which together form one of Verne's greatest tales. The translation unfortunately was effected by W.H.G. Kingston whose translation changed the hero's name from Smith to Harding. Further Kingston abridged or omitted many of the technical passages indicating the castaway's scientific development of the island. Verne's anti-imperialist sentiments expressed by the dying Captain Nemo were also reversed by Kingston so as not to offend English readers. Unfortunately Kingston's became the standard translation to this day inflicting his omissions and distortions on English-language readers. T&M Sampson Low's first edition all three volumes dated 1875 in a variety of cloth colors came out in September 1875. T&M records their second impression as coming out in February 1879 -- but here we have the second impression of all three volumes with "Second Edition" on each title page all dated 1876. The three Sampson Low first impressions seldom turn up on the market as a set especially in the same color cloth; these second impressions only in green are quite scarce as well as evidenced by T&M's not having seen them. In any event this is a handsome matched set of the English second impression page edges plain the first impression's page edges were gilded. All three volumes are in attractive just-about-fine condition with scarcely any external soil or wear only the very slightest of rubbing at the edges; a few leaves at each end of each volume have light foxing; even the original delicate peach-colored endpapers are clean and uncracked. Given the extreme scarcity of the first impressions over several decades we have offered only one set in this condition at $22500 this set of second impressions is highly collectible.

The book takes place in the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against British rule with the passions and traumas aroused still very much alive among Indians and British alike.
