Collectible- Homers Illiad (1884)

A “Household Edition” of The Iliad of Homer, translated by Alexander Pope, published by Belford, Clarke & Co. in 1884, with notes & introduction by Rev. Theodore Alois Buckley & illustrations by Flaxman. Book is an ornate Victorian binding sought after in the rare and collectible book market.

This exact edition (1884, Belford, Clarke & Co., Pope translation, Buckley notes) was featured as a plot point in the 2015 film The Boy Next Door, which has given it some pop culture cachet.
