The Vicar of Wakefield

$500.00

The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith. New York: George Long, 1823.

Text block sewn unsupported, laced with Cave paper straps into limp case of Katie MacGregor paper. Additional decorative lacing of a stylized “V” and “W”. Bound 2020.

6 x 3.25 x 1”
15 x 8.5 x 2 cm

This binding was in response to a student asking for an example of decorative lacing on a paper case. The 1766 novel was hugely popular in Victorian England. It was name-checked in Frankenstein and included in the ship library of the doomed Franklin Expedition. A random opening reveals the compelling prose, “‘Villain indeed,’ cried I”.
