Macmillan & Co., 1893 | Illustrated by George H. Boughton
A richly illustrated 1893 edition of Washington Irving’s two most enduring tales, Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. This edition is illustrated throughout with fifty-three drawings by George H. Boughton, and bound in a decorative Victorian-style cover with gilt poppies and ferns stamped in gold.
Repaired and restored in the Cedar Leaf bindery, this copy retains its original charm while offering new life to its binding. The original floral cover design remains vibrant, now stabilized with a fresh green bookcloth spine and sympathetic gold detailing. Gilt page edges intact. Interior pages show expected foxing and age toning, but are complete and securely bound.
A lovely and readable 19th-century edition, blending folklore, ghost story, and early American literary history.
