POEMS OF THOMAS HOOD

Henry Frowde, London, Edinburgh, 1906. An octavo, 773 pages, beautifully bound in three-quarter vellum over marbled boards. Ornamental spine in the Art Nouveau style with gilt twining stem and flowers accompanying smooth calf title and publisher labels lettered in gilt. Marbled endleaves, matching the paper used on the binding. Portrait frontispiece. An exquisite example of what has become a scarce series of Art Nouveau period bindings of English Literature, with the poems of Thomas Hood being more elusive than other authors. Edited, with notes by Walter Jerrold.
