Undated but circa 1900. 256, 8 – publisher’s catalogue – pp, with monochrome plate frontipiece. Decorated green cloth-covered boards, lettering in gilt with design on upper panel and spine. 12mo. Cloth a little marked, gently rubbed and rounded at corners and spine ends. Text block edges lightly toned and spotted. Endpapers toned. Some faint and occasional spotting on first and last few leaves else internally neat, clean and tight.

Book binding designed by Talwin Morris, with his signature three dots at the base of spine. Morris (1865-1911) was a prolific book designer and decorative artist particularly known for his Glasgow Style furniture, metalwork and book designs, who served as Art Director for Blackie and Son from the mid 1890s to 1909. He was hugely influential in Victorian book design, moving taste away from the more pictorial and narrative bindings of the time to a more Art Noveau approach with an emphasis on lines, curves and decoration.
