About This Item
S E Cassino. Boston. No date (Circa 1890). First Edition., 1890 String tied thin cardboard wraps. Twelve pages of text and (Including the covers) eight thin cardboard pages with color chromolithograph mounted plates. Oblong book about 10 by 7 inches. The author name is not given in the book. The mounted color plates are about 7 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches and are mounted on the front cover, inside the rear cover and on six interior pages. The plates are heavy art stock and the chromolithograph images (Of watercolor scenes) are very high quality with real depth. Each text page has the poem on one side and a black/white illustration on the rear. This of course, is the verse written by Woodworth in 1817 and enormously popular in the middle to late 1800's in the U.S. An artistic book obviously made for the gift market. Small chips at top and bottom of front cover fore-edge; a bit of paper offsetting from the facing text page to the last plate. A lovely, unusual, fragile and scarce book.
