The edition is on low quality paper, and appears to have been well read. The boards are rather more rubbed and the corners are bruised, with one missing. The binding is simple, but attractive, the spine slightly rubbed, but entirely sound. We could find nothing on WorldCat, no copies in the Catalogue Collectif de France, and only two on the Spanish CCPB. Although this edition does seem to appear fairly regularly, if highly (even over-) priced, we have found very few copies in institutional libraries. The French edition is unillustrated, while Tomás Rey was able to use the illustrations that had been prepared for the original monthly parts.
This appears to have been due to the difficulties caused by the French publisher by the Franco Prussian War, though it is not clear whether Hetzel allowed the Spanish to precede his, or whether this in a pirate edition. However the entire book was published in two simultaneous parts by Tomás Rey y Compañía in the Spanish translation of Vicente Guimera in 1869. Contemporary quarter leather with raised bands Verne's 'Veinte Mille Lieues sous les Mers' was published in parts by Pierre-Jules Hetzel in his Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation between March 1869, and June 1870 the first part was published in book form in French in October 1869, the second part in June of the following year. Illustrations by Édouard Riou Obras and Alphonse de Neuville, engraved by Hildebrand. Ships from Southampton, New York.Ĭondition: Bueno.
