Antique 1866 Household Edition of Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens, published by Hurd and Houghton. This three-volume set (Volumes II, III, and IV) features exquisite half-leather bindings with ornate gilt-tooled spines and classic marbled paper boards. The marbled detailing extends to the page edges and endpapers, creating a cohesive and sophisticated aesthetic. Each volume includes illustrations from drawings by F.O.C. Darley and John Gilbert, including a frontispiece in Volume II titled "The Rehearsal." A handsome addition to any library or collection of 19th-century literature. They do have some wear, sen in photos.
