Ivanhoe, Walter Scott's most brilliant and popular work that set the style for today's historical novels. Includes the original inlay from ICL with presentation of the work and Mercier binding.


New. Unopened. Unread. Collectible.
Deckled fore-edges.

Ivanhoe is part of the Great English Novels of the 19th Century series of the International Collectors Library. The binding for the works in this series has been recreated by the contemporary American designer Rafael Palacios from an original found on Memoires de Madame de Stael, published in Parish in 1891. The design is the creation of French master bookbinder Emile Mercier. The delicate all-over pattern of squares running diagonally, with rosettes at each corner, reflects the elegance of bygone era of craftsmanship. The spine of the original bears raised bands (the hallmark of many collectors' editions) and is divided into six panels with a gold pointelle ornament.

The present replica edition closely follows the conception of Mercier's design. Like the original, it is slate blue retailer with genuine gold on the filigreed front cover and panelled spine, with had raised bands. There is matching ribbon marker.
