Lot Description
DUMAS, Alexandre (1802-1870). The Count of Monte-Cristo. London: Chapman & Hall, 1846.
2 volumes, 8vo (222 x 134 mm). Frontispieces with wood-engraved illustrations after M. Valentin (some very light spotting throughout). Modern half calf.
FIRST ENGLISH EDITION IN BOOK FORM. Although the English translation of The Count of Monte-Cristo had been printed in numerous publications prior to 1846, the most common (and generally agreed to be the best) translation was printed in ten weekly installments by Chapman & Hall, with this translation following the revised French edition of 1846 and including an additional chapter.
