This lot comprises three original volumes (Volumes V, VIII, and XIV) from the prestigious 1907 Pentland Edition of The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson, edited with bibliographical notes by Edmund Gosse and published in London by Cassell and Company in association with Chatto & Windus, William Heinemann, and Longmans Green & Co. Celebrated for its literary and typographical quality, this definitive collection was strictly limited to 1,550 sets worldwide, with this set numbered 951. The volumes include classic masterworks such as Treasure Island, The Black Arrow, and theatrical collaborations, alongside engraved frontispiece portraiture and historical provenance featuring bookplates and institutional stamps from the W. J. O’Brien Collection / Natal Society Library.
Condition: The books show heavy antique wear, including pronounced spine head/tail chipping, heavy edge and cloth scuffing, water staining to prelims, spine splits, and prominent foxing throughout, though they remain structurally intact reading and reference copies.
