London: Bernard Quaritch, 1899. First editon thus - dated 1899 on the title pages. Very early work. Green cloth covered boards with gold gilt embossed decorative front cover and has a new leather spine to match the boards. NOT an ex library book. This book has been professionally resewn with new front and rear end sheets that closely match the original. The book is tightly bound and square. The book pages are bright for the age of the book. The book has a decorative frontispiece picture which is covered by a tissue guard. The front end sheet and the frontispiece picture and the page after show light foxing - but the body of the book shows nearly no foxing. The book has gold gilt top edges. I noticed one page that had a small tear to the bottom of the page (page 33/34) . The covers are very clean and the gold gilt decoration on the front cover is very bright. The spine of the book has been replaced with matching green leather and the original spine and it's gold gilt title have been removed. Very collectible book. The book show some rubbing wear along the top front board. . First Thus. Hard Cover. Collectible Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Signed and numbered by the artist. Lise Melhorn-Boe: "I have wanted to make a book with sewing patterns for many years, so was delighted to discover Alexandra Cussons's poem, used with her permission. The poem describes the creation of a woman, who then destroys the pattern to maintain her uniqueness. Cussons is a British poet who won the Poetry Society's Foyle Young Poet of the Year Award in 2011 for this poem. The text of the poem is layered with pattern pieces, hand-illustrated sewing instructions, photos of the body parts and the final figure." The artist has mingled the three verses of the poem with pattern pieces and assembly instructions. She has also included images of each of the sewn pieces and then the final sewing project.

Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love.
