Atlantis: The Antediluvian World
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1882. First Edition. Black and white illustrations. Hardcover. Octavo. x, 480 pages.
The foundational text of modern Atlantis lore, fusing Victorian science, comparative myth, and sweeping diffusionist theory into a bold case for a lost Atlantic civilization. Endlessly influential in occult, theosophical, and fringe‑archaeological circles, it remains a cornerstone of alternative‑history imagination.
Very good. Bound in original green publisher's cloth with coated brown endpapers, gilt-stamped spine and upper board. Old prior ownership notes on front pastedown and rear flyleaf. Prior ownership name on a couple of preliminary blank leaves and a clipping of a photo of Donnelly tipped in. Minor rubs to extremities. Interior lightly toned by clean and sound. A handsome copy overall.
