PASSED

Jules Verne. Wonderreizen. Het land der buitenste duisternis. Het drijvende eiland,

gevolgd door Een treurspel in de wolken. Aflevering 103-105 of Nieuwe Serie afl. 53-55. Rotterdam, J.G. Robbers, 1880, paging: 97-234,(6) p., with tinted lithographic map and woodcut illustrations, original wrapper (sm. defects) and with extra original colour-lithographic wrapper for possible rebinding of the book, with the map repeated on the back (with folds trifle torn).

Rare single publication of 3 issues of the first Dutch edition (from a total of 5 issues), apparently complete as published. Here the half title, title page and TOC are the final three leaves. Een Treurspel in de wolken (p.209-234) is not listed on the cover but is still listed on the title page. On the back cover a clarification of this method of publishing: "Men kan het werk bij intekening naar keuze ontvangen: in afleveringen van ca. 3 vel druks à 25 cents, of wel: in deelen à f. 1,25. Deelomslagen en kaarten [here still included] ter verduidelijking van den tekst worden gratis geleverd." See: De Verniaan no. 57, October 2015 (added), p. 24, with an extensive explanation on this type of issue (total 2).
