MICHAEL STROGOFF: A COURIER OF THE CZAR

MICHAEL STROGOFF has been adapted to screens large and small, almost since the genesis of the moving picture as an art form: its first foray into theaters was in 1910, at the hands of Thomas Edison's movie studio. The N. C. Wyeth edition illuminated the story in Brandywine style, with atmospherically lit characters and sweeping scenery. This copy is in particularly attractive condition, and retains its rare original box.
