Orley Farm

TROLLOPE, Anthony

TROLLOPE, Anthony Orley Farm

Chapman & Hall, 1862.

First edition. Two volumes, both in Sadleir's scarce first state, bound from the parts with printers imprints as called for. Original purple wavy-grained cloth, the grain running vertically for both volumes, covers blocked with conventional frame design in blind, on spines with farming designs and lettered in gold, pale yellow endpapers. Bound without publisher's catalogue sometimes found at end of vol. I ("cannotÂ… be regarded as essential" - Sadleir); Forty wood-engraved illustrations by J. E. Millais, with first state captions throughout. A superb, near fine set, with the spines inevitably a little sunned and a touch of wear to the heads of the spines.

The publishing history of Orley Farm is complicated by the fact that, unusually, the two volumes were published nearly ten months apart, and subsequent reissues of each volume were neither simultaneous nor in step. Sadleir calls for horizontally waved cloth on the second volume, though his bibliographical reasoning for precedence seems based on copies seen rather than bibliographic rigour. It is more likely that copies were issued in both types indeterminately. Copies of the first issue of this work are now uncommon in such fresh condition.
