1910 The Poetical Works of Longfellow / SPCK London / Lovely Vellum Decorative Binding / Pink Cloth Covered Boards / In 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 Longfellow. 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 poet's works listed in the matching vellum and pink series.

Inside the pages are clean and tightly bound. Has an inked inscription on the front free endpaper (see photos), but no other writing or markings of previous ownership. Gilt edged along the top (with a few light scuffs). Has a black and white portrait frontispiece, else unillustrated. With an Index of First Lines.

Vellum corner pieces and spine are super with lovely ornate gilt work on the spine and gilt borders. There is a dark mark on the vellum on the front spine joint and also a faint dark stain mark on the rear board (see video and final photo). Otherwise the vellum has fared very well and just has the usual tanning as would be expected as it ages. With a dark red Moroccan leather round title plate and gilt titles. 

Your antique copy of The Poetical Works of Alfred Lord Tennyson will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message to the parcel.

H 19.5 cm x W 13.5 cm, 886 pages, 0.71 kg. I dispatch worldwide daily from the UK. With the exception of a small number of countries.
