Description: Up for sale is a wonderful and quite rare Stedman / Woodbury Large Paper edition set of the Works of Edgar Allan Poe, as published by Stone & Kimball in 1894-1895…This set is number 51 of just 250. Note; I don’t use the word “rare” often, but with so few of these sets originally produced, it’s likely few complete sets remain, and my research finds only one other complete set on the market (Priced at 3k) This books are bound in original ½ leather bindings with no restoration work apparent. This “large paper edition” has a lot of nice features, but most appealing I think are the fantastic tipped in illustrations by Albert Edward Sterner and the paper quality. All the books have rough cut edges and the top page edges are gilt. CONDITION: All the books are in uniformly Very Good to Very Good + with solid spines and not gutter or hinges issues. Each book as a tasteful period former owners’ bookplate inside. Internally, they are free of foxing, although the original owner tucked a newspaper article about Poe in one volume so that turned the two adjacent pages dark over the decades. There is minor wear to the tips primarily and a couple of the spine tops show minor leather abrasion or loss as shown in photos. The ribbon page markets are aged and frayed. Overall, a wonderful set rarely seen for sale! This is our 18th year selling on eBay with a 100% satisfaction rating, so buy with confidence!
