Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy, Signet Classic Paperback

This item is a vintage paperback edition of Thomas Hardy's novel "Jude the Obscure," published under the Signet Classic imprint. The physical dimensions appear to be consistent with a mass-market paperback, likely approximately 7 inches in height and 4.25 inches in width. The cover features a dominant red border and a central illustration with a dark-haired, bearded male figure in the foreground, rendered in a somewhat stylized, possibly mid-20th century aesthetic. The figure is depicted against a backdrop of architectural elements, possibly stained-glass windows or arched doorways, rendered in colors such as orange, red, and yellow, contrasted with areas of dark blue and black. The author's name, "THOMAS HARDY," is printed in large white capital letters at the top, followed by the title "JUDE THE OBSCURE" in similar lettering. The top left corner shows "A SIGNET CLASSIC" logo and text, along with a code "CQ570 .95c" which likely indicates a catalog number and original price. The bottom right corner features a small, illegible signature, possibly of the cover artist. The overall condition shows visible wear, particularly along the edges and corners of the cover, indicative of its age and use. There is general surface rubbing and minor creasing. The paper appears to have yellowed slightly, which is typical for older paperback books. Despite the wear, the cover art remains largely intact and vibrant enough to distinguish the design details. The spine, though not fully visible, would likely show matching wear. This edition appears to be from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1960s or 1970s, given the pricing structure and cover art style prevalent during that era for paperback classics. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced paperbacks of the period, focusing on affordability and widespread distribution.
