The Complete Poetical Works of John Greenleaf Whittier. With Numerous Illustrations. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company. The Riverside Press, Cambridge. 1884. Small 4to in size. This is an elegant and gorgeous book bound in the most elaborate décor. It is bound in light eggplant purple buckram (cloth) over boards with black and purple stamped décor of vines, dots, panels, circles, stars etc. There is a circle pictorial of a country home and a gold gilt reserve around Whittier on the front cover. The spine has a matching gold gilt reserve with the same black stamped vines. The cover is beveled and all edges are gilt. So as you can see elaborate fits perfectly in describing this intricately bound work of art. The end papers are in a dark chocolate brown color. There are numerous black and white illustrations throughout including a tissue guarded frontispiece. The book is in very good to fine condition. There is some minute shelf wear to the head and tail of spine along with the corners. The text block is superb and the binding is tight and clean. This is a grand book in every way!
Striving For Excellence
It isn?t brilliance or just getting the breaks,
It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
