Buch Erstausgabe
Hardbound with dustjacket. Zustand: Good condition. 1st edition. An illiustrated collection of twelve poems on the theme of gardens, by poets including William Wordsworth, Shakespeare, Vita Sackville-West, Elizabeth Barrett, Edward Thomas, Thomas Hood, Robert Browning and Robert Louis Stevenson. Nostalgic British lyrical verse combines with very prettified brightly-colored two-page spreads for each poem. Flowers cover border designs of patterened ribbons and flow onto drapes, plates, clothing, and wall and floor coverings. Many borders become part of the illustrations. Their mystical geometric symmetry looks slightly Persian. (30) pag. Size: 21,5cmx17cm.
