Description

First edition, first issue, with the "Franklin Press" imprint on the copyright page and the first state of the binding with rosette at 1/8” below the horizontal. With 192 illustrations. 8vo, publisher’s original dark green cloth, with pictorial decoration in gilt and black on upper board, stamped and lettered in gilt and black on the spine, a.e.g. (2), 411 pp., frontispiece, 2 blanks at rear A copy with a bit of wear from use and age, some evidence of rubbing to the edges from shelving, inner hinge starting, clean internally.

Edizione: the rare first issue. twain's timeless tale of two little boys who switch places to see how the other half lives. very scarce in unsophisticated original cloth.<br> the prince and the pauper was quite unlike anything twain had done up till that time. it is a fine adventure with a delicate vein of “twainian” humor running throughout. twain took up a short domicile in montreal in an attempt to establish residency there so that he could register the copy-right in canada, england and the united states. his past encounters with piracy led him to make this attempt.
