Sir Walter Scott Set
1912 Sir Walter Scott Oxford University Press Collection – Set of Six Matching Volumes
Offered is a handsome and increasingly difficult-to-find matching set of six Sir Walter Scott novels published by Oxford University Press under the Henry Frowde imprint in 1912. Uniformly bound in rich red leather with gilt decoration and featuring a portrait of Scott on the front boards, these volumes create a striking display on the shelf and represent some of the most celebrated works of one of the founders of the historical novel.
Included in this collection:
Waverley
Old Mortality
The Talisman
Rob Roy
The Abbot
Guy Mannering
Each volume is illustrated throughout with numerous black-and-white plates and retains its original Oxford University Press title pages dated 1912.
