About This Item
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1906. Thick quarto. Original blue fine weave cloth with gorgeous all over gilt blocked cover design by Margaret Armstrong consisting of grapes and grape vine on a trellis, also used for spine. This model cover design appears in later Putnam titles (Morris, Tennyson, Emerson, Rossettis) however, in those later uses, clumsy lettering by another hand was employed, as per Gullans. With superb frontispiece photograph of Tennyson by J. M. Cameron. Corners bumped, spine with wear at extr., very good.
