A beautiful book for the poetry lover in your life or to add to your own library. Original decorative binding with gilt title bar and black blind stamped decoration. Gilt edging on all three sides. The covers look to be a soft rich brown color with beveled edge.
The spine ends and edges show minor wear.  Back cover top right shows an old water damage that does not go through to interior. Interior very nice but softly toned due to age.
