The Four Seasons at the Lakes

first edition Decorated and Blindstamped Cloth

London and Belfast

by Bell, Charles Dent. Illuminated by Blanche de Montmorency Conyers Morrell.
London and Belfast: Marcus Ward & Co.. First Edition. Decorated and Blindstamped Cloth. Very Good Plus. 4to. 29.5 by 24.5 cm. N.d., circa 1878. Seventeen plates, including title and "Finis" page, featuring chromolithographed decoration and pictorial vignettes and Gothic Fraktur lettering of the verse. Designed as a pretty, comparatively inexpensive chromolithographed "illuminated manuscript". The decoration is a wide mix of typical Medieval ornament, flowers, butterflies, foliage, geometrics, with the vignettes being pretty views of mountains and lakes, as promised by the title. Minor fraying along the front joint, and other light to moderate wear of the decorated cloth. The cards have a slight bend to them but are clean and bright. (Inventory #: 004656)
