About This Item
Edinburgh: William P. Nimmo, nd. Very good +. Nimmo's Popular Poets. xxii, 681 p. 17 cm. Engraved frontisportrait of Byron with tissue guard intact. Coloured title, two title page vignettes, 11 engraved plates. Burgundy leather spine with Mauchline Fern Ware covers. Raised bands, spine in six panels. Covers show a portrait of the poet. All edges gilt. Respined with original overlaid. Hinges repaired. Ink signature on a front endpaper. Some foxing.
Mauchline Ware was a form of souvenir ware made by the Smith family of Mauchline, Ayrshire (now Strathclyde), Scotland. The fern effect is produced by laying actual ferns on a sycamore wood object, colouring around the ferns using dark brown, removing the ferns, and then varnishing the finished project. Byron's bio by Alexander Leighton. A real delight for the Mauchline collector and poetry lover.
