Kipling, Rudyard - The Seven Seas - D Appleton & Company: New York, 1896 - First Edition / First Printing - Matching dates present on title on the copyright page with no mention of later printings as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition.
The book has heavy rubbing and wear to the boards with some splitting to the gutters. There is also some light sunning. Internally the binding is cracked and there is a name on the front end page as well as general toning and a few scattered stains. While not perfect still an acceptable example of this early and desirable Kipling title.
