Large octavo. With vignette illustrations throughout. Original green Victorian cloth, elaborately decorated in gilt on covers and spine with ornamental borders, gothic lettering, and central crown motif.

First Edition

Very good overall. Original gilt-decorated green cloth well preserved and presenting beautifully, with bright gilt decoration. Light foxing and natural age-toning. One gathering a little loose, but the volume remains otherwise sound.

History & Legacy

Edited by Adelaide Anne Procter, The Victoria Regia brings together original poetry and prose in a volume printed at Emily Faithfull’s Victoria Press in 1861.

The press trained and employed women as compositors, giving this anthology a place in the history of women’s professional work in Victorian publishing. Its contributors include Harriet Martineau, Geraldine Jewsbury and Anthony Trollope.
