[Scotland] The Black Indies/[Seas and Oceans] The Chancellor/[Peru] Martin Paz by Jules Verne. Illustrations by Férat (Les Indes-Noires and Martin Paz) and Riou (Le Chancellor). Paris, Bibliothèque d'Éducation et de Récréation, J. Hetzel et Cie, sd (1886). Large double in-8°. Lenègre's 3rd type "two elephants" cardboard for an extraordinary "confectionary brown" percaline with a glossy aspect, very attractive. Gilt edges. Blue endpapers. Printed by Gauthier-Villars. Catalogue "DF" for 1886-1887. Discrete restoration at the head of the first spine. Some foxing. Otherwise, a very nice copy. A rarity in a unique colour! Already very rare in this binding, this title is here in a shade of percaline never used by Hetzel for Jules Verne and which is not "chaudron"! Attempting to describe this particular brown leads us to the shelves of the confectioners. Marron glacé? No... Too brown and too cold... Quince paste ?... More red but too many different shades... "Confectionery brown" will suffice and suit its slightly red and crystalline appearance. However, we are not sure if we are setting a precedent.
