Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson (Vintage Decorative Hardcover Edition)

This item is a vintage hardcover edition of the novel "Kidnapped" by Robert Louis Stevenson. The book features a vibrant reddish-brown or maroon cloth binding, which appears to be fabric-covered boards, typical of late 19th or early 20th-century publications. The front cover is elaborately decorated with intricate gold tooling, indicative of a period of decorative bookbinding. At the top of the cover, a rectangular panel prominently displays the title "KIDNAPPED" in gold capital letters, framed by interwoven decorative motifs. Below the title, the design incorporates two vertical panels, each featuring what appear to be botanical illustrations, possibly depicting leaves, stems, and perhaps delicate flowers or seed pods, rendered in muted greens, blues, and whites, set against a lighter contrasting background within their gold-outlined borders. These panels are flanked and connected by elaborate gold scrollwork and stylized floral patterns, which extend across the entire face of the cover, creating a rich, symmetrical design. The craftsmanship suggests a machine-press application of the gold leaf, common for mass-produced decorative bindings of the era, yet the detail is fine. Visible condition issues include wear along the edges and corners, particularly at the spine and bottom corners, where the binding material is slightly frayed or rubbed, revealing some of the underlying board. There might be some subtle scuffing or minor discoloration on the cover itself due to age and handling, consistent with a book that has been read and stored over many years. No specific maker's marks or publication dates are visible in the provided image, but the decorative style, with its combination of typography, botanical illustration, and extensive gold work, strongly places this edition in the Art Nouveau or late Victorian period, likely dating from the late 1800s to early 1900s. The overall aesthetic suggests a collectible edition meant to be both read and displayed.
