Description: Complete in two octavo volume: viii,320; viii,320pp, with 40 full-page wood-engraved plates that Trollope considered the "best he had seen 'in any novel in any language.'" (Ray) Contemporary green polished half-calf spines in six compartments divided by double gilt rules, marble paper-covered boards, red morocco lettering pieces gilt, edges speckled red. Short tear (repaired) to plate opposite p. 49, vol. I. Ink manuscript name and date (1863) to fly-leaf of voI II, with same inscription upside down to back fly-leaf of vol. I, as well as a further ink name and date (1890) inscribed to front blank. A truly excellent set, bindings square, tight, and barely worn; pages clean, fresh and mostly free of foxing; plates in deep, rich impressions. Sadleir 13. NCBEL III, 882. Ray (England) 168. Muir (Victorian Illustrated Books), p. 135. Trollope considered this lengthy book, a version of the crime, or "sensation," novel in vogue during the 1860s, one of his most ambitious undertakings and possibly his finest work. It is also among the most bibliographically complex. Unusually, the two volumes were not published simultaneously but nearly ten months apart, and subsequent reissues of each volume did not proceed in step. In consequence, Sadleir proposes that the "numerous combinations of varying volumes which exist are due, not always to careless mixing of sets between 1862 and the present day, but often to circumstances of publication." Orley farm originally appeared in twenty shilling parts, published monthly from March 1861 to October 1862. Our set is the second issue of four, identified by the two illustrations originally bound in tandem between pp. 86-87 (first issue) in vol. I, one of which (that captioned "And then they all marched . . .") has been moved to face p. 73 (though the List of Illustrations was not altered to correspond). But the printer's imprint on verso of title page, vol. I, has not yet changed to Clowes H and the imprint on p. 320 (Clowes B) is not worn and broken, both third issue points. Correspondingly, in vol. II, the printer's imprint on verso of title page does not lack the colon after "London" and the last item of the List of Illustrations has not been altered to read "Sir Peregrine Orme's Great Loveâ"p. 311" (both third issue points). "Millais's main effort is to do justice to the characters of Trollope's wonderfully rich and varied novel and to the situations in which they find themselves, yet the comfort, even elegance, of Victorian existence on the right side of the social line is nowhere more attractively presented than in his forty drawing for this novel." (Ray) N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.

An early issue with stab holes visible throughout both volumes; volume I conforming to all issue points for Sadleir's second issue and volume II a first issue with a third issue title page. An attractive contemporary binding in Near Fine condition, internal contents very clean. A contemporary owner's name E. L. Dutton written on the front end paper of each volume. "While it is primarily a tragedy of misdirected maternal love, Orley Farm contains much of the best Trollopian humor and includes the portrait of his finest gentleman, Sir Peregrine Orme" (Trollope Society). Noted for its complex bibliography, resulting in part from the two volumes being printed and released ten months apart, the novel also presents a complex legal plot in which Sir Joseph Mason attempts to bequeath Orley Farm to his second son Lucius. In addition to the legal implications of overstepping an eldest son, Sir Mason's estate is further embroiled in conflict as Lucius takes over management and begins to cancel and break leases, raising the ire of neighbors. This anger leads to accusations that Sir Mason's will was forged, that Lucius is not the true heir, and that Lady Mason is the culprit. Near Fine.

Description: Quarter bound in two volumes from the original parts (original binding holes visible), publisher's advertisements & half titles removed. Matching marbled boards & endpapers, gilt decoration to boards & spines (four raised bands). Although there is obvious edge wear, internal condition is very good indeed. The paper on which the illustrated plates were printed is more absorbent than the printed pages, hence tends to suffer more from foxing, damp marking etc. (a common problem with Dickens & Trollope works of this era) but this copy of the work has illustrations that are very clean indeed. One of the full page illustrations in volume 2 has been accidentally bound in upside down but is as clean as the others etc. This copy is not entirely free of foxing/spotting but it is very light indeed. There is a slight bow to the boards (front to back) but not too serious.

Description: A splendid Riviere-bound first edition of Orley Farm, bound from the original parts, illustrated throughout by John Everett Millais. First published in shilling parts, this novel is a realist depiction of a lawsuit regarding Orley Farm. The real farm later became a school, renamed Orley Farm School for the novel with the permission of the author.Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was an English novelist, with the Chronicles of Barsetshire being his best known works, as well as 'The Warden' and 'The Way We Live Now'. Illustrated by Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896), an English painter and illustrator remembered as being one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He was also the youngest student to enter the Royal Academy Schools at the age of eleven.This has been bound from the original parts, with a wrap pasted to the verso of the front endpaper of volume I.As stated on page forty of Michael Sadleir's 'Trollope a Bibliography', Volume II is the first issue, as the plates facing pages three-hundred and five and three-hundred and fourteen are both titled 'Farewell!', whereas in the second and later issues, the plate facing page three-hundred and five is corrected the title to 'Sir'. Volume I is the second issue, as the plate 'And then they all marched' is here facing page seventy-four, rather than eighty-seven as it does in the first issue.Smartly bound by Riviere and Son. In a half morocco binding. Externally lovely, with just some slight rubbing to the raised bands of the spine. Ownership bookplates to the front pastedowns and endpapers. Internally, firmly bound.

Description: First edition in book form, Sadleir's fourth issue, of the book that Trollope himself described as his best plotted, and his personal favourite. "Millais was a 'sixties'-style illustrator, representational and realistic, a style which accorded nicely with that of Trollope, whose writing was often characterized as 'photographic', 'uncompromisingly realistic', and even 'pre-Raphaelite'" (ODNB). With 40 plates, this is Millais's most substantial contribution to Trollope's work, the author "wrote that he had never known a set of illustrations 'as carefully true. to the conception of the writer of the book illustrated'" (ibid.). Orley Farm was initially published in 20 shilling parts, with the subsequent two volumes of the book issue appearing over an interval of nearly 10 months. Sadleir identifies four issues of the first edition, distinguished by small variations in printer's imprint, illustration captions, and binding grain. The present copy conforms to the fourth issue in all points save that the cloth grain runs vertically, as opposed to horizontally, in vol. 2. With contemporary printed and accomplished lending slip for the Banburyshire Book Club tipped on to vol. 1 endpapers. Sadleir, Trollope 13. 2 volumes, octavo. Original brownish purple wavy-grain embossed cloth, the grain running perpendicularly for both volumes, titles and decorations in gilt to spines, pale yellow endpapers, untrimmed. Without publisher's catalogue sometimes found at end of vol. I ("cannot. be regarded as essential" - Sadleir); 40 wood-engraved illustrations. Spines a little sunned, slight wear to extremities with small repairs to spine ends, small dent to top edge of vol. 2 rear board, occasional small marginal spots or tears, else a very good set.

TROLLOPE, Anthony. ORLEY FARM. Chapman & Hall, 1862.
Price: US$5772.03 + shipping
Description: First edition. Two volumes, both in Sadleir's scarce first state, bound from the parts with printers imprints as called for. Original purple wavy-grained cloth, the grain running vertically for both volumes, covers blocked with conventional frame design in blind, on spines with farming designs and lettered in gold, pale yellow endpapers. Bound without publisher's catalogue sometimes found at end of vol. I ("cannot be regarded as essential" - Sadleir); A superb, near fine set, with the spines inevitably a little sunned and a touch of wear to the heads of the spines. Forty wood-engraved illustrations by J. E. Millais, with first state captions throughout. The publishing history of Orley Farm is complicated by the fact that, unusually, the two volumes were published nearly ten months apart, and subsequent reissues of each volume were neither simultaneous nor in step. Sadleir calls for horizontally waved cloth on the second volume, though his bibliographical reasoning for precedence seems based on copies seen rather than bibliographic rigour. It is more likely that copies were issued in both types indeterminately. Copies of the first issue of this work are now uncommon in such fresh condition. Sadleir (Trollope) 13
