A handsomely produced gift book of the 1890s, today collected chiefly as a fine example of the pictorial cloth binding made famous by the Cranford series and for the illustrations by Thomson. This copy with the scarce dust-jacket that has done an admirable job keeping the original cloth and gilt bright beneath.

First edition, 8vo; [xvi], 120 pp., with frontispiece and 31 plates, headpieces throughout, partially unopened; publisher's maroon cloth gilt, bevelled edges, top-edge gilt, wood-engraved printed dust-jacket; slightly rubbed at extremities, dust-wrapper lightly chipped, back splitting slightly, otherwise nonetheless a very good copy.
