A charming antique four-volume collection of works by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, featuring four of his most notable novels: Eugene Aram, Ernest Maltravers, My Novel, and The Coming Race.
Each volume is handsomely bound in rich red leather, with elegant gilded tooling along the spines that adds a refined, decorative touch. The covers feature complementary marbled paper, echoed by the beautifully marbled page edges, creating a cohesive and distinctive appearance across the set.
Inside, each book opens with a tissue-protected engraving adjacent to the title page, offering an appealing glimpse into the illustrated character of these antique editions. Adding an element of provenance, each volume bears the signature of a previous owner, Kate Rutcalf, giving the collection a personal connection to its history.
With their vibrant red leather bindings, intricate gilt details, coordinated marbling, and illustrated interiors, these four volumes make an attractive addition to a literary collection, traditional library, or antique book display. Together, they offer both the enduring appeal of Lytton’s fiction and the distinctive character of antique books with a documented history of ownership.
