TARRY THOU TILL I COME

New York and London: Funk & Wagnalls Company, 1901. A stout octavo of 588 pp., color frontispiece and black and white plates by T. de Thulstrup. An exquisite example of a publisher's Art Nouveau binding, designed by George Whaton Edwards, signed with his initials. Scarlet cloth with cover and spine decorations consisting of Corinthian pillars in astonishly bright, heavy gilt and a fern frond in striking olive green. Warmly inscribed and signed by the illustrator on the front free endpaper, this is a perfect copy of a boldly handsome volume.
