Lalla Rookh, an Oriental Romance. by MOORE, Thomas

London: Longman, Orme, Brown, green & Longmans, 1838. Full morocco, 9 1/2 inches tall. A terrific full morocco binding by J. Wright of Noel Street, Soho, who was one of the greatest London book binders of the period. With gilt raised bands, extra gilt tooling to the panels, flamboyant gilt tooling in the French style to the boards, dentelles and all edges gilt. With splendid full page engravings under the supervision of Charles Heath. With the leather bookplate of W.A.Foyle of Beeleigh Abbey which has somehow adhered to the free endpaper tearing a small section away. Dublin born poet Thomas Moore is today mostly remembered for his Irish Melodies.
