About the Item
Own a Piece of Literary History: First Edition, First Printing of Thackeray's Vanity Fair.
Step into the world of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley with this exceptional first U.K. edition, first printing of William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair, published in 1848.
This is not merely a book; it's a tangible connection to a pivotal moment in literary history.
This remarkable copy is in superb condition, a true rarity for a volume of this age. The original publisher's binding is beautifully preserved, showcasing the elegance of the era. Inside, the pages remain crisp and some display foxing; though the other true 1st editions I have encountered were in grave condition and cost as much -or more- than this excellent overall example.
The iconic illustrations, so integral to Thackeray's storytelling, are present and vibrant, inviting you to linger over every detail.
Vanity Fair is a cornerstone of English literature, a satirical masterpiece that continues to resonate with readers today. This first edition, first printing represents the novel in its purest form, as it was first encountered by Victorian audiences. Don't miss your chance to add this extraordinary piece to your collection. Enquire today.
