Beautiful antique illustrated gift book, Brilliants from Longfellow, featuring selections from the poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Published by Charles E. Graham & Co., Newark, New Jersey.
A particularly pretty example of an early decorative gift book, filled with color floral and landscape illustrations, ornate typography, decorative borders, roses, gilt accents, and illuminated-style initials. The companion volume shown, To Give You Greeting, has similarly lovely period floral artwork and is marked The Hayes Lithographing Co., Buffalo, New York.
Both show age-related wear, including edge/corner wear, discoloration/toning and wear at the bindings/spines. Please review photos carefully for condition.
