New York: Boni & Liveright, 1924. "The Dram" was first published in 1877, the seventh novel in a twenty-part series by the great French realist. This is a Very Good (Plus) copy of the First Edition Thus, which is LIMITED to 2050 sets. Rather uncommon. The translation from the original French is by Arthur Symons,authorized by Zola. Included is an essay by Robert H. Sherard (1861-1943), the first biographer of Oscar Wilde, who wrote one for Zola in 1893. Large octavo. Smooth green cloth binding (now faded to tan on the spine) with a gilt reproduction of Zola's signature on the front cover; paper label on spine. Clean text; 468 pages; all pages rough-cut. There is a small label from a previous-owner on the FFEP; attached to the rear paste-down is another spine label (not darkened!). A solid copy and because of its large format (and typeface), a great way to experience Zola. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Thus.. Hard Cover. Very Good Plus/No Jacket., Boni & Liveright, 1924, 3<
