Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth, POEMS. London: Robt. Riviere & Son Ltd., n.d.
Finely bound green morocco leather hardcover w/gilt titling and ornamentation to spine and both boards, 16mo (5.875x3.750”), very good+/n.a., a.e.g., 295pp.
Some very light scuffing to boards, spine suntanned, penciled inscription on front free fly-leaf.
Superbly bound, and a beautiful offering from Robert Riviere & Son circa 1890 with gilt floral vignettes to spine and also in the dentelles surrounding the paste-downs. The works of arguably the greatest poet of all time set in a gorgeous binding, quite the marvelous Capture of Tyme and a very distinctive book indeed!
