[Allingham, William- Without Publisher's Cancel] Ashby Manor, A Play

London: David Stott, [1883].

First edition. Original gray paper card wrappers printed in red and black with circular design on cover. Without the cancel tab pasted over the original David Stott imprint in nearly all copies, to "Longmans & Co., Paternoster Row," on both front cover wrapper as well as on title-page, per Colbeck, "indicating that the publication had been transferred," just after the press run. The only copy we have noted without the Longmans cancel on cover and title-page. Extremely scarce.

Price: $450.00   Item #4055
