This is the 1903 first edition of The Bar Sinister by Richard Harding Davis, published by Charles Scribner's Sons. It has beige textured covers with gold lettering on front cover and spine. The front cover also has an illustrated shield in blue with a gold bar and two bull terrier dogs on the front cover. The book is illustrated with full color illustration plates as well as black and white drawings. The book tells the story of Kid, who is based on a real-life prize-winning dog, Edgewood Cold Steel. There are 198 pages.
The book is in okay antique condition for its age and use. The covers have general wear with some discoloration, staining, and fraying to corners and edges. The front illustration and gold lettering has general wear but is intact and mostly bright. The gold lettering on the spine has mostly faded. The covers are cracked at the front title page and at the last page, exposing the webbing underneath and causing the pages to wobble and separate, especially at the bottom. There are several ink inscriptions and name stamps. The pages are still bright.
The book measures 7.75 by 6 inches. It is .75 inches thick.
