Published by Harper & Bros., NY 1873 / 1882 Antique Book of Poems Green cloth blocked in gold and black on front and spine, black on back. This pretty book was written by Will Carleton, dedicated to his mother. It is a collection of 23 poems, or ballads, centered around farm life. A classic and charming book first published in 1873, this is a collection of poems written on the farm about families, love, death, money, nature and the out-of-doors with equally charming illustrations. The book was the number one bestseller in its publication year. Very good condition for the age. Green cloth, elaborately decorated in gilt and ruled in black. Frontis, plates and illustrations. Minor edge rubbing. Page 83 has jagged irrational cut and page although there is separated. Strange. Otherwise looks to be hardly read. Please see and enlarge photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks |
