The Piece
A 1906 first edition of Jane Cable by George Barr McCutcheon, published by Dodd, Mead & Company, New York. Bound in dark navy cloth with gilt lettering and an inset pictorial panel of a young Edwardian woman, the cover reflects the elegant illustrative design typical of early 20th-century American fiction.
The volume features a color frontispiece by renowned illustrator Harrison Fisher, whose “Fisher Girl” imagery defined American magazine and book illustration of the era.
A fully realized example of Edwardian publishing at its peak.

Historical Context
George Barr McCutcheon was a bestselling American novelist in the early 20th century, widely known for romantic adventure and society fiction. Jane Cable reflects the Edwardian era’s fascination with romance, social standing, and dramatic narrative.
The involvement of Harrison Fisher is significant — he was one of the most commercially successful illustrators of his time, and his work remains collectible independent of the text.
Published in 1906, this volume sits squarely within the golden age of American illustrated fiction.
Condition
Good antique condition.
Cloth shows edge wear and spine softening consistent with age. Gilt lettering remains legible. Inset cover illustration shows surface wear but retains visual clarity. Interior pages evenly toned. Binding intact.
Color frontispiece present.

Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
