A Victorian Mystery by
Anna
Katharine Green
Dust
Jacket art by HARRISON FISHER
with complimentary
matching bookmark
GROSSET &
DUNLAP, 1909
THE VOLUME:
The cover art and dust jacket repeat the same lovely
Harrison Fisher illustration. Inside the book there are 9
other beautiful black and white engravings on glossy paper and
many in-text drawings by an unknown artist. A rare edition
in any form.
THE DUSTJACKET:
A NEW FACSIMILE copy
of the Harrison Fisher jacket, which sold with this edition,
made from a scan of an original in very good condition, printed
on one sheet of acid-free paper by an archival inkjet printer
(80 yr. inks), and preserved in archival plastic.
THE STORY:
This
is a wonderful mystery novel by a woman who is often lauded as
the “mother” of the detective story (preceding even Mary
Roberts Rinehart). As I began reading I was instantly reminded
of the novels and style of Wilkie Collins (another personal
favorite of mine). Once I'd started THE FORSAKEN INN I didn't
want to put it down. The charming and lovely illustrations by
two wonderful artists certainly added substantially to my
enjoyment.
