Binding Notes
A Christmas Gift Book bound in bright red cloth in a blind stamped repeating pattern to both front and rear cover. Gilt titles to the center of front cover. Very elaborate decorative gilt title to spine. All pages of text and music are framed in a holly border. An excellent example of 1850's red decorative cloth bindings.
