Description :

The Admirable Crichton in the Edition de Luxe, limited to 500 signed and numbered copies, this example being No. 194. Signed by illustrator Hugh Thomson on the limitation page. Produced in a premium format with Thomson’s characteristic period artwork and high‑quality printing typical of deluxe early‑20th‑century literary editions. A scarce and desirable collectible distinguished by its low‑number limitation and the illustrator’s autograph.

Antique cream vellum-bound edition of J.M. Barrie’s The Admirable Crichton showcases intricate gilt foliate designs on the cover and spine, illustrated by Hugh Thomson. The book is housed in a faded blue cloth slipcase and features a purple ribbon marker. Light foxing and surface wear add character to this early 20th-century illustrated classic. The ornate gilt work and vellum binding underscore its period elegance.
