About This Item
London: Macmillan and Co., 1895. Octavo. A sensuously romantic but chaste gift binding in full vellum with the initials " J. J. de W." in gilt on the front cover and " 25. June 1895 d. d. G. B. R." on the back cover. 184 pages. The gilt titled spine has an ornament of a single gilt inverted lily blossom on a sinuous stem with the date, 1895 in gilt at the foot of the spine. Small gilt lily blossoms also adorn the corners of both covers. Vellum turn-ins with double gilt rules. Top edge gilt. Although this binding is unsigned, it was obviously the work of a skilled binder producing a gift volume to represent the affection of the presenter and hopefully the cherished regard of the receiver.
