Description: Darley, F. O. C., illust. The Cooper Vignettes, from Drawings by F. O. C Darley. India Proofs Before Letter. New York: James G. Gregory, 1862. Hardcover, fine leather binding, 8 p., 62 l. front., illus., 62 pl., port. Contains 64 fine engravings by Darley of scenes from Cooper's works. This copy rebacked at one point by an expert bookbinder, with some light/moderate wear (bumping, chipping, etc). Moderate foxing. Superbly fine binding, unsigned. Bookplate on front pastedown. ILLUSTRATOR'S SIGNATURE taped to bookplate. One of the early plates has a pencil signature of Darley but I'm not sure if it's actually his or if it's someone attributing the plate to him. Binding split in a few places, see pictures. Page edges gilt (some wear to gilt, especially on top). Feel free to ask any questions. Please Note: I am away until July 29, 2024. I have someone monitoring my eBay sales until then, but it may take a little longer to ship out your items and answer your questions.
