The Headsman; or, the Abbaye des Vignerons

James Fenimore Cooper, 1833

COOPER, James Fenimore (1789-1851). The Headsman; or, the Abbaye des Vignerons. London: Richard Bentley, 1833.



Fine first edition of Cooper's final European novel, untrimmed in original boards. Set in Switzerland, the Headsman is a story about the love between a Swiss noblewoman and the son of an executioner, played out amidst the carnival atmosphere of the festival of the winemakers, the hoary Swiss aristocracy, and of course—a few sea voyages. Only the second copy recorded by RBH at auction since the 1970s. BAL 3860.



Three volumes, 12mo (198 x 124mm). Half titles. Original paper boards, printed label on spines (a few small chips or areas of wear, joints starting in vol 1, labels faded).
