The product is a 1894 hardcover edition of "The Works of Rabelais" illustrated by Gustave Doré. Published by The Moray Press, this first edition features classic literature and fiction by the renowned author Rabelais. The book is beautifully illustrated, making it a rare and valuable addition for collectors and fans of literature.
"The Works of Rabelais, illustrated by Gustave Doré, is a renowned 19th-century collection of satirical, Rabelaisian tales featuring the giants Gargantua and Pantagruel. Often published in hardcover (HC) with numerous detailed, full-page engravings, these editions are celebrated for capturing the witty, grotesque, and fantastical nature of the 16th-century original."

I have about 2000 old books to sell, so keep an eye out on my listings. Many, if not most of them, came from the library of Albert E. Smith who was a motion picture pioneer and also co-founded Vitagraph Motion Pictures. We bought his house from his wife, Lucille (an actress whose stage name is Jean Paige), back in 1968 which included all the books that were in his library and we're finally getting around to selling them and we're selling them for far less than they're worth. Please bear with me though, because Ebay restricts the amount of listings I can have at one time, so it might take a while for me to list everything.
I also have a lot of artwork, lithographs, oils, antique mirrors, etc that I'll be auctioning off, so check back and check out my other auctions. I'm in a smaller home now and need to purge some of my storage.
Happy to combine shipping!
