151184New York: Scribner Armstrong & Co. nd. Early Scribner edition cheaper than their first with fewer illustrations intended to meet the low-price challenge presented by Henry L. Shepard's cheap edition. . Hardcover. Good. 305 11 p. interspersed with plates. 20 cm. Frontispiece title vignette and 19 other b&w plates. Brown cloth with blank impressing and gold lettering. Mylar wrap removed for photos. Spine cloth chipped. Corners a bit bumped. Front hinge cracked internally. Bookplate for Theodore & Caroline Foster Sizer on front pastedown. Discolouration to text block edges. Some light soiling to first pages. <br/><br/>Early English translations of "Voyage au Centre de la Terre" generally added "A" in front of the title. Oddly Verne's Professor "Lidenbrock" becomes "Von Hardwigg" and there are other changes from the original French. Despite oddities in the translation "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" remains one of the greatest adventure stories of all time. Riou's illustrations enter into the spirit of the text including creepy dark caverns a mushroom forest prehistoric animals a sea monster a plain of bones "human" remains and so on. A modern adult is overwhelmed by the amount of scientific knowledge in Verne's head as well as his fertile imagintion. <br /> <br />Theodore Sizer 1892 1967 was an American professor of the history of art at Yale University and a director of the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven Connecticut. In 1916 he married Caroline Wheelwright Foster. <br /> <br />10 p. of publisher's ads at rear with first page advertising works by Verne including "Meridiana" and "From the Earth to the Moon."

1875158341875. a handsome set Together two volumes. With 129 126 total 255 Illustrations by Riou. London and New York: George Routledge and Sons 1875 actually 1874. 14 pp undated ads in the latter volume. Original terra-cotta cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt.<br/> <br/> First British Edition of the two volumes that together comprise Verne's maritime tale THE VOYAGES AND ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN HATTERAS. Crewmembers sign on for a mysterious voyage to an unknown destination in a ship without a captain; ultimately Captain Hatteras reveals himself after posing as a member of the crew and announces that they are headed for the North Pole. Ultimately after shipwreck and days on an ice floe a mute Capt. John Hatteras winds up in an asylum near Liverpool where he goes on daily walks always facing north. The American edition published by Osgood in mid-1874 all in one volume was the first edition in English. Routledge published these two volumes in late 1874 though dated 1875 -- apparently not simultaneously as a note at the end of the first volume's text indicates that the other volume "will shortly be published". Some copies of the first volume likewise dated 1875 bear the front cover and title page title of THE ENGLISH AT THE NORTH POLE; regarding precedence it is believed that A JOURNEY as here came first because later Routledge reprints bear the THE ENGLISH title. Routledge subsequently in 1875 published the entire tale in one volume. Both volumes are bound in terra-cotta pictorial cloth though the cloth of one volume has a "pebblier" texture than the other -- a variation we have had before; Myers mentions only blue or red cloth and we have also seen orange-brown and green -- no color priority known. Both volumes are in fine condition slightly askew but scarcely any wear. The same color and in great condition they make quite a pair. Taves & Michaluk V004; Myers p. 65; also see Mistichelli A16. Provenance: both volumes bear a Christmas 1874 penciled inscription to the same person. unknown

Taves & Michaluk V002.<br /> <br /> <p>A bright copy of the first American edition of the science fiction classic. Professor Lidenbrock infamously renamed "Hardwigg" by an anoymous translator who took great liberties with the text discovers a runic manuscript that reveals a volcanic entrance into the earth's core. He grabs his nephew and an Icelander named Hans and carries them off into the bowels of the earth where they discover a lost world of living dinosaurs before making the perilous journey back to the surface.<br /> <br /> <p>Verne was already a household name in America and reviewers showered praise on his latest offering illlustrated by Edouard Riou and attractively bound as a gift book. The Chicago Post declared that the book was "one of the most successful he has yet written possessing in a high degree the wonderful invention and strong characterization which have made his novels famous." The novel has never been out of print and has been adapted several times for film and television. Scribner Armstrong and Co unknown
