The Poems of Oliver Goldsmith.
London: Routledge, 1859. Full morocco, 9 inches tall. A splendid heavy Victorian hard grain morocco binding with gilt raised bands and elaborate gilding to the panels. With Illustrations by Birket Foster and H.N. Humphreys. The remarkable boards have a series of gilt fillets and rolls framing a gilt block illustrating a family group gesturing, in sorrow, towards a village church whence they have just left. Gilt dentelles and all edges. There is a stain on the border of the end papers and some foxing, but still a beautifully illustrated and bound volume.
