1908 A Child's Garden of Verses
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Illustrated, Original Binding
A beautiful 1908 edition of this popular, and timeless, book of children's poetry.
This influential work provides poems for an assortment of childhood scenes and imaginings.
First published in 1885, this beloved title has seen many reprintings and illustrators.
Sowerby's work, in this instance, is a highlight of this copy, which contains a vivid frontispiece, and 11 further, richly coloured plates.
Collated, complete.
Additional monochrome illustrations complement and introduce most of the included poems.
This nostalgic edition was published as part of the St Martin's Illustrated Library series, with striking gilt designs to the title page, endpapers, and front board.
Condition
Bound in blue cloth. Externally, generally smart with slight bumping to the extremities. Rubbing to boards and extremities, resulting in slight loss to cloth. The odd mark to the boards. Slight fading to spine. Age toning to endpapers. Internally, firmly bound. Bookplate to half title. Slight spotting throughout. Pages generally bright and clean.
Very Good
