1910 The Poems of Tennyson / 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 Poems of Tennyson. 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.
Inside the pages are clean and tightly bound. There are a few creased corners. 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 Titles and an Index of First Lines.
Vellum corner pieces and spine are super with lovely ornate gilt work on the spine and gilt borders. With a dark red Moroccan leather round title plate and gilt titles. The leather has rubbed a little, the gilt has remained very shiny.
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.
At time of writing I have just received a number of other decorative vellum-spined volumes which I will be listing over the next couple of days.
H 19.5 cm x W 13.5 cm, 752 pages, 0.64 kg. I dispatch worldwide daily from the UK. With the exception of a small number of countries.
* If you would prefer for your book not to be decoratively wrapped but sent simply in the protective packaging please add a note to the order.
