FISHER'S DRAWING ROOM SCRAP-BOOK, 1838
London, Paris, & New York Fisher, Son, & Co Hardcover
Quarto in original green publishers cloth stamped in gilt and blind. Spine quite worn; lacking 2 inches at mid section. Descriptive notes on plates and publisher's list at rear. Illustrated with "36 highly finished engravings" with tissue guards. Many pages toning, and occasional foxing throughout. Poems by L. E. L. From the publisher's list: "The title and getting up of this lady-like quarto, are happily conceived--and truly a more delightful or ingenious persuasive to conversation could not be devised. In this country, when persons meet together, a considerable time elapses before they get into conversation, this volume breaks the charm at once. One praises the portraits, another admires the scenery, the cities, castles, mountains, lakes and magnificent structures; a third is captivated with ornamental vignette letters; whilst others are culling the flowers of L. E. L.'s charming bouquet of poems."
