Decorative Description:
The covers were gilt with a decorative border, built up of a gilt pin-dot roll and triple line fillet. Repeated gilt crescent leafy sprigs topped with a berry floret tooled on top. In-between is a gilt pineapple in a bucket stamp. The corners are tooled with the pineapple in a bucket stamp with large volutes on either side with a large tulip floral spray. The spine is divided into six panels with each framed with gilt double lines. The author and title is gilt on a dark green leather label in the second panel. The other panels are filled with gilt pineapple in a bucket stamp surrounded by ivy leaf stamps at the corners and smaller leafy tools and dots. The board edges are gilt with a single line fillet. The turn-ins are gilt with covered rosette and a arc and dot decorative roll. The binder's signature stamp "BOUND BY C. LEWIS" is stamped in black at the top left verso corner of the marbled flyleaf.
