Wealth is good, and if it comes our way we will take it; but a gentleman does not sell himself for wealth.

Here we offer the prized first Russell Flint-illustrated, revised edition of H. Rider Haggards's classic, King Solomon's Mines, published by Cassell and Company in 1905.  This edition is notable for its gilt-impressed Victorian red silk binding, gilted top of text block (to keep dust out), tissue-protected frontispiece, 32 full-page glossy (and ften bawdy) illustrations, decorative endpapers, and fold-out "fac-simile" of treasure map.

Boards are edgeworn and lightly soiled (please see pics). Endpapers are intact and uninscribed. Original frontispiece tissue is intact  Binding is very tight and square; text is very clean, bright, and crisp with occasional foxing. 306 pages, plus 8 pages of ads; measures approximately 7.75 x 5.25-inches.

This gorgeous presentation of this classic adventure novel will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very special gift.
