1910 The Poetical Works of William Wordsworth / SPCK London / Lovely Vellum Decorative Binding / Pink Cloth Covered Boards / Good Condition

In a lovely vellum decorative half-binding with pink cloth sides, here is a very attractive hardback edition of The Poetical Works of William Wordsworth. Published by SPCK, London and undated but would have been published in the early 1900s. There are a good number of other matching works in this series with vellum spines and each with different ornate designs to the spines. At time of writing I have several other copies of different poet's works in stock in the matching vellum and pink.

Inside the pages are clean and tightly bound with a little tanning and spotting to the endpapers. Has an inked inscription on the front free endpaper (see photos), and also a few very faint pencil notations but these are just a handful in one section and are not really very noticeable at all. Gilt edged along the top (with a few light scuffs). Has a black and white portrait frontispiece, else unillustrated. With an Index of Titles, an Index of First Lines and a Chronological Table of the Life of William Wordsworth.

Vellum corner pieces and spine are super with lovely ornate gilt work on the spine and gilt borders. With a dark mark to the bottom front corner piece (see final photo), and a little creasing to the head of the spine. With a dark red Moroccan leather round title plate and gilt titles. The leather has rubbed a little, the gilt has remained very shiny.
