The Bravo: A Venetian Story

James Fenimore Cooper, 1831

COOPER, James Fenimore (1789-1851). The Bravo. A Venetian Story. London: Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, 1831.



Untrimmed in original boards—the fine Bradley Martin copy of the first edition. This is the first of Cooper's European novels, inspired by his time in Italy. Set in Venice, it is a dark political thriller about the corruption of the old world. The text of the preface was revised prior to publication, as here, although BAL notes one copy extant with the original wording. BAL 3850.



Three volumes, 12mo (204 x 124mm). Half titles, 2pp. ads at end of vols 2 and 3. Original blue-gray boards with white paper shelfback and printed paper label on spine; each in a modern cloth box (head of vol 1 spine chipped). Provenance: Rhiwlas Library, Wales (library labels, signature of Frances Price dated 1832; sold Hodgson's, July 1927) – Oliver Brett, Viscount Escher, 1881-1963 (armorial bookplate) – H. Bradley Martin (his sale, Sotheby's New York, 31 January 1990, lot 2015).
