About This Item
London: [Day & Son], 1861. A bit of wear to the spine with minor repair to crown and foot, and some minor finger soiling in the margins, still an uncommonly bright copy, and quite rare in this state. Folio (17"), (vi), XIII. Illustrated by Owen Jones with 17 full-page chromolithographs. Bound in full pebbled plum cloth over beveled boards, the covers with embossed designs, the upper cover with gilt title and decorations inset and surrounded by ornate gilt frame. This is the precursor to and became the fist part of Jones' Victoria Psalter. "Color in blues, reds, white, and gold making a sumptuous effect. Owen Jones regarded this work [The Victoria Psalter] as his masterpiece, and is considered one of the highlights of Victorian color printing." Ray. 230; McLean. Victorian Book Design p. 129.
