THE MIRROR OF THE SEA.
New York and London: Harper & Brothers, 1906. Original blue cloth pictorially decorated in yellow, grey and brown.
First (American) Edition, published on the same day as the London one. This was Conrad's first volume of autobiographical non-fiction.
This copy is in Supino's binding state "A" (Cagle's binding "a") with the smaller (17x10mm) anchor-and-rope device on the front cover -- the more-common and perhaps earlier binding state. This is a fine clean copy, with just the slightest of rubbing at the tips; atypically, the yellow pigment of the sky is not at all eroded. Supino A11.7.0 (this copy); Cagle A11b. Provenance: discreet bookplate of the Conrad bibliographer David J. Supino. Item #15328
Price: $250.00
