Binding Notes

In original glassine wrapper. Bound in a wide white leatherette spine with pictorial boards to half of cover depicting a young Victorian girl with bouquet. Binding represents a style which was extremely popular at the turn of the century, noted for white spines and repeating small flower patterns in calico-like cloth -obviously marketed to the feminine buyer.
