Written in his characteristic humorous and satirical style, it mocks Old World pretensions, tourist behaviour, and American innocence abroad while offering sharp observations on culture and society. It is a representative British printing of one of Twain’s most successful and influential travel narratives. Copies with this exact blue-and-gilt tree binding are commonly dated around 1910.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 310 pages (varies slightly by exact printing)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair to good edition with a missing copyright page, gilt top edge on text block, the gilt olive tree and lettering on the front and gilt decoration on the spine are in good condition.
