First edition

Jules VERNE L'île à hélice

Jules VERNE

L'île à hélice

Hetzel, Paris 1895, Grd. in-8 (18x28cm), 423pp., relié.


First edition illustrated with 80 drawings by Benett and 12 inset color. Catalog D for 1895 attesting to the first edition.
Editor's cartonnage says "To the glued portrait". Plate signed Lenègre on the anchor. Lenègre and co in tail of the back.
Beautiful top plate, with very sharp and brilliant golds. Note that the vignette at the lighthouse is no longer sky blue but midnight blue.
Very nice copy, despite minor defects. Tiny black spots on the low red border, one on the outer border. Small dark areas in the portrait. Coins a little folded. Back a little thinned, rather well, with the golds a little tarnished. Upper cap soft, rubbed and sagging. Folded tail cap. second board with many stains and whitish straces. Pale foxinges scattered, together rather fresh, but foxing on the title page.
Science fiction novel in which an island containing a whole city, is propelled by propellers. The protagonists are a quartet of musicians, allowing Verne to convey his love of music. There are several sharp remarks about Wagner.
