1870s Set of 2: Swiss Family Robinson by John Lovell, and The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
This set of two rare antique editions from the 1870s includes The Swiss Family Robinson by John Lovell and The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. The Swiss Family Robinson is a translated and edited version of Stahl’s “Nouveau Robinson Suisse” with numerous illustrations, while The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is the classic tale of a mariner’s adventures as related by himself, with over one hundred illustrations. Both books are hardcover volumes bound in blue bubble-grain cloth with leather spine and corners, and gilt ornamentation and lettering on covers and spine. Despite some wear to the cover and spine, the books are well-bound and clean, with only minor foxing on titular pages and minor fading throughout. The books are in remarkably good condition for their age and would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
