Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras by Jules Verne. Illustrations by Riou. Paris, Bibliothèque d'Éducation et de Récréation, J. Hetzel Éditeur, 1867 (published late 1866). Large double in-8°. Publisher's custom full percaline boards, rose incarnadin and "au cercle pur". No mention of binder (Lenègre). Gilt edges. Lemon yellow endpapers. Printed by Jules Bonaventure. First illustrated edition and first hardback. Spine with a few tears and marouflaged on a cloth of the same hue. Otherwise, a "salvaged" and now very decent copy. The interior is white and almost intact. A rare work in its first "pure circle" version.
