1874 Gareth & Lynette by Alfred Tennyson Antique Poetry Book Leather & Gilt

Gareth And Lynette etc
By Alfred Tennyson
Published by Henry S. King & Co: London 1874 ( very early edition )
In Original Green Leather & Embossed Gilt Bindings - All Edges Gilt

" Alfred Tennyson's Song of the Brook is a lyrical celebration of nature's continuity and vitality, interwoven with gentle reflections on life and time. The poem, one of Tennyson's most beloved shorter works, personifies the brook as it journeys from its mountain source to join the river, echoing the cycles of persistence and change. This beautifully printed late-Victorian edition by Nims & Knight of Troy, New York (circa 1888) exemplifies the period's passion for fine craftsmanship and poetic illustration. The text is enhanced with fifteen delicate photo-gravure plates by The Photo-Gravure Company, based on drawings by William J. Mozart, which capture pastoral landscapes, flowing water, and quiet moments of rural life.

Presented in a richly decorative binding typical of the American gift-book tradition of the 1880s, this edition embodies the merging of art and verse that defined the Aesthetic Movement. Its blend of soft tonal imagery and Tennyson's melodic verse would have appealed to the cultured reader and collector alike, offering a visual and literary meditation on the beauty of the English countryside. This volume would especially appeal to collectors of late-Victorian illustrated poetry, admirers of Tennyson's nature verse, and those drawn to finely produced art books of the nineteenth century."
