Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Cambrioleur

Pierre Lafitte & Cie, Paris, released 10 June 1907; broché (paperbound) in the publisher's pictorial wrapper, roughly 12 x 19 cm, 318 pages, with a preface by Jules Claretie of the Académie Française and the brick-red colour wrapper drawn by Henri Goussé. The original issue is printed on cream laid paper (papier vergé) without watermark, and includes a photographic plate of Leblanc on coated paper and a reader competition at the rear — the paper and the Goussé wrapper are the working identification, not the printed edition number
