This is a vintage, most likely antique, edition of The Last Days of Pompeii by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, published by Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. It has tan covers with dark red / brown floral borders on the front cover and spine. The spine and front cover are also lettered in gold. The book has an illustrated portrait of Bulwer-Lytton at the title page, and the book does have black and white photographic plates throughout. There are 422 pages. The top page edges are gilt.
The book is in antique condition for its age and use. The covers have general wear with darkening around the covers edges and fading to the gold lettering. The corners and edges are beginning to fray. The spines are cracked at the both the inside front and back covers, exposing the webbing underneath and making the book pages wobbly in the spine. The pages are yellowed. The gilt page ends are still mostly shiny. Edward Francis Dowd from Medina, N.Y. wrote his name inside the front cover in ink.
The book measures 8.25 by 5.75 inches. It is 1.75 inches thick.
