School Life in Paris. [Paris:] Privately printed [Charles Carrington], 1898.
Octavo (176 x 114 mm). Extra illustrated with five pen-and-ink and wash drawings. (Paper stock lightly and evenly yellowed, occasional minor spotting, small losses in the margins of gathering 7.) Contemporary, probably publisher's limp dark green morocco, upper side ruled in blind and tooled and titled in gilt (corners lightly rubbed); custom green cloth slipcase. Provenance: J.B. Rund (bookplate and pencilled notes on endpaper).
ONE OF 20 COPIES ON JAPANESE VELLUM. EXTRA ILLUSTRATED WITH FIVE ORIGINAL DRAWINGS, AND BOUND IN MOROCCO: almost certainly the publisher's binding for the twenty deluxe copies on special paper. RARE: the present copy is the only one recorded by Mendes; no copies listed in WorldCat and not in the British Library. This copy is not numbered; the rest of the edition consists of 300 copies on Dutch paper. First published by Carrington in 1897. Mendes 103-B.
