In
Memoriam by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Oxford
Miniature Edition. 7 x 9.7cm or 2.75 x 3.7 inches. Published by Henry Frowde London, printed
Horace Hart at Oxford (printer to the University). Unpaginated (145 pp). Missing a small portrait of Tennyson opposite
title page. Red leather like covers with
gilt lettering on front and gilt edged pages.
Illustrated end pages different images front and rear water colour
landscape scenes with quotes from the text.
The
illustrations on the end pages are a brilliant surprise. The landscape scenes are quite a shock when
you open up the plain red cover. For the
size and age the inner illustrations are quite superb.
It
feels like a real shame to put this item on shelf where the art work cannot be
appreciated.
