Blind Rosa and Other Tales by Hendrik Conscience & Others
$40.00
Blind Rosa and Other Tales is a late nineteenth-century collection from the Granville Popular Library. Bibliographic research identifies Blind Rosa as a translation of Hendrik Conscience's Flemish story and shows that this volume also contains other tales, not all of which are by Conscience.
Contemporary bibliographic references connect this outer title with the Burns & Oates publishing series around 1890–1891. The book itself is undated.
Format: Decorated hardcover, no dust jacket
Series: The Granville Popular Library
Date: Undated, late 19th century (bibliographic sources place the issue around 1890–1891)
Condition: Pre-owned antiquarian copy with substantial age-related rubbing, fading and edge/spine wear. Binding remains present but shows the expected wear of an old circulating volume.
An unusual survivor from a popular Victorian Catholic publishing series, of interest to collectors of Hendrik Conscience, nineteenth-century translated fiction and decorative publisher's bindings.
