William Makepeace Thackeray's The History of Pendennis: His Fortunes and Misfortunes, His Friends and His Greatest Enemy in a complete three-volume Tauchnitz edition set.
Published by Bernhard Tauchnitz, Leipzig.
Volume I: 1849
Volume II: 1850
Volume III: 1850
Small-format Tauchnitz editions measuring approximately 6 x 4 inches.
Bound in attractive half leather with marbled boards and marbled endpapers. All three volumes retain their original title pages and are complete. The interiors remain unusually clean for their age, with bright pages and minimal foxing.
The bindings exhibit rubbing, edge wear, and some leather deterioration with minor flaking consistent with age. Volume I has weak boards/joints but remains attached and usable. Volumes II and III are structurally stronger. Text blocks remain secure.
A handsome nineteenth-century Thackeray set with excellent shelf appeal.
