Binding Notes
Book design attributed to Sarah Wyman Whitman. Bound in her classic three part binding with dark green spine cloth and lighter green cloth for front and rear boards. Title in black with dots between words of title and name of author. A long-stemmed art nouveau flower stamped in black runs vertically along the edge of the dark green spine cloth. Stem bisects the word "The" in the series notation at the bottom - a signature Whitman design technique.
