Don Quixote, Complete in One Volume, 1878, Lippincott Blue Antique Hardcover

An 1878 Philadelphia edition of Don Quixote de la Mancha, translated from the Spanish and published by J.B. Lippincott & Co.

This single-volume printing opens with a frontispiece portrait of Cervantes protected by a tissue guard, followed by the classic text of Cervantes’ satire on knighthood and idealism.

The book is bound in decorative blue cloth with black stamped designs and gilt accents on the spine, a striking late-Victorian style. The interior shows age toning, foxing, and handwritten ownership notes dated 1918, but the volume remains intact and highly displayable.

A handsome 19th-century edition of one of literature’s most enduring works.
