First edition, second printing of Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner's The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, published in 1873.
Professionally restored and archivally rebacked with a new bookcloth spine and gold foil lettering, while preserving the original binding components such as the calf cover and rear binding. The text block is tight, secure, and fully readable. Remarkably little evidence of aging for a book of this age, with the text remaining clean and well preserved.
A significant collaboration between Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner and an important work of nineteenth-century American literature.
