This 1855 edition features the poetical works and lives of John Kirke White and Thomas Campbell, two celebrated poets of the era. Bound in rich dark green leather with detailed gold embossing, it combines biography, poetry, and engraved illustrations. Kirke White’s reflective poems on youth and nature sit alongside Campbell’s stirring verses on hope and social progress. Designed as both a beautiful keepsake and a thoughtful read, this book captures Victorian tastes for elegant, meaningful literature.
Condition:
The binding remains tight, the leather sound, and the gilt tooling across spine and boards is bright with only minimal rubbing at the corners and spine ends. Internally, all gatherings are firm: the steel-plates and red-rule title page retain clear impressions, though the frontispiece and adjacent leaves show moderate foxing and light toning at the margins. No leaves are loose or chipped, and the gilt page edges have lost little of their original brilliance.
