Full Morocco
by Tennyson, Lord Alfred. Leonard Charles Price, probable artist and illuminator
Full Morocco. Very Good. An unusual subject for illuminated manuscript treatment, and pulled off with panache. Ten leaves of fine watercolor and ink illustrations, calligraphy and sublime ornament in the tradition of Victorian illuminated manuscripts, all with ship or boating interest. Oblong, 8.5 by 14 inches, 22 by 36 cm. Some artwork mounted, most done directly on card, all by the same hand, and presumably of Price, whose bookplate is mounted onto the FEP. Shelfwear to leather, heavy along edges. Rebacked. Leaves on heavy card, and these are clean and bright.
