Selected Operas (First Series) – Sir W.S. Gilbert, 1939 Hardcover

A lovely volume of Selected Operas (First Series) by W. S. Gilbert, published in 1939 by Macmillan & Co. Ltd., St. Martin’s Street, London.

Bound in its original hardcover, this little book feels like a relic from a candlelit study. Within, you’ll find works that trace their origins as far back as performances at the Royalty Theatre in 1875.

The book carries a handwritten inscription dated 1942.

In good vintage condition. The pages show age-related discolouration, yet remain entirely readable. The binding is sturdy, and the book overall presents beautifully for its age.

Perfect for a dark academia, Victorian-inspired, or old-world library setting. Whether nestled among antique volumes, styled upon a writing desk, or gifted to a lover of theatre and literary history, it brings with it a sense of scholarly romance and faded grandeur.

Hardcover. 11.5cm x 17.5cm approx.

Due to the enchantments of different screens, colours may appear slightly different in person.
