The Three Musketeers
Alexandre Dumas, 1846
DUMAS, Alexandre (1802-1870). The Three Musketeers. London: Bruce and Wyld, 1846.
First edition in English of one of the greatest of all historical romances. The original French first edition was published two years earlier. On publication, Dumas’s novel had gained immediate glory and his heroes—d’Artagnan, Athos, Portos and Aramis—remain paragons of masculine friendship.
Octavo. (Front hinge slightly over-opened.) Contemporary half leather (front joint starting, spine and tips rubbed, bump to top edge of lower cover).
