GOOD CONDITION This sale is for a VICTORIAN hardback edition entitled “ Jane Eyre ,” by Charlotte Bronte , with engraved illustrations, including a frontispiece. It was published by Smith, Elder & Co., of London , in 1877 and is one of the wonderful vintage “Life and Works of Charlotte Bronte and Her Sisters” series. The book measures 7.75 inches x 5.5 inches x 1.5 inches and has 483 pages (+ illustrations), which are marbled to all rims. The book is in good condition for its age, generally neat save two small closed tears to the side rim of the second title page, with minor wear and is a little grubby to the cloth hardback cover, with a little foxing near the covers.
