About This Item
Boston & New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1894. First American Edition. In original colourfully decorated cloth, which is slightly rubbed but in very good condition overall. Inside the poetry is beautifully highlighted by historiated initials and framed within decorative borders - all by Walter Crane. Floral endpapers. Neatly repaired closed tear to front end paper. Pages are French folded (so uncut and hiding the blank pages), and top edge is emerald green. Separated into sections: The Old Garden, Nature, Love Songs, Poems of Life, Verses for Children. A lovely example of a delightful book. viii, 114 pp. 205 x 150 mm (8 x 6 inches). Première édition américaine. En toile originale décorée en couleurs, légèrement frottée mais en très bon état. A l'intérieur, la poésie est magnifiquement mise en valeur par des initiales historiées et encadrées dans des bordures décoratives - toutes de Walter Crane. Pages de garde fleuries. Déchirure fermée soigneusement réparée à la première page de garde. Les pages sont pliées à la française (donc non coupées et cachant les pages blanches), et le bord supérieur est vert émeraude. Séparé en sections : Le vieux jardin, La nature, Chansons d'amour, Poèmes de la vie, Versets pour les enfants. Un bel exemple d'un livre délicieux. viii, 114 pp. 205 x 150 mm
