"This Edition De Luxe Of One Thousand Copies Was Printed In 1911"

"This distinguished Harry Furniss Centenary Edition of The Works of William Makepeace Thackeray, published by Macmillan and Co. in London in 1911, was issued to mark the centenary of Thackeray's birth and represents one of the finest early twentieth-century collected editions of his writings. Produced as an Edition de Luxe limited to one thousand copies, the set is notable for its handsome blue cloth bindings with elaborate gilt-decorated spines, high-quality paper, and careful typography, embodying the Edwardian reverence for Victorian literary giants.

The volumes bring together a broad and representative selection of Thackeray's work, including his critical essays (Critical Papers in Art and Critical Papers in Literature), satirical and autobiographical sketches (The Paris Sketchbook, The Irish Sketchbook, Roundabout Papers), and major fictional works such as A Shabby Genteel Story, The Adventures of Philip, and Denis Duval. Thackeray's prose ranges effortlessly from sharp social satire and literary criticism to richly observed narrative fiction, offering insight into nineteenth-century manners, class, and culture. The inclusion of essays alongside novels highlights his importance not only as a storyteller but also as a perceptive commentator on art, literature, and society.

Issued in uniform bindings and clearly identified as a limited centenary printing, this set has enduring appeal both as a scholarly resource and as a decorative library collection. Its scope and presentation make it an excellent example of early twentieth-century fine book production devoted to Victorian literature. This edition would particularly appeal to collectors of Thackeray, admirers of Victorian fiction and satire, and those interested in limited-edition literary sets from the Edwardian period."

Light wear and fading with minor scuffing to covers and spine. Pages very clean and well presented. Binding is excellent with no loose pages throughout the 5 volumes. A nice 5 volume collection in very good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
