The Tower of London by William Harrison Ainsworth.
First Edition, First Issue 
Illustrator George Cruikshank
40 etchings and 58 woodcuts
The novel was originally serially published in 1840 and offers a gripping historical romance that delves into the tragic story of Lady Jane Grey, from her brief reign as Queen of England to her eventual execution. The book is beautifully presented in fine leather binding by Wood of London bound in full golden-brown calf with gilt lettering on the spine, which has five raised bands, features gilt dentelles, marbled endpapers, and a gilt top foredge. The leather is smooth and clean, but the front spine edge shows wear, making it a stunning addition to any collection of classic literature.
This will be the most beautiful, thoughtful gift you have ever given; your bibliophile will love you for it!
