About This Item
London: John Lane, Bodley Head, 1908. Gorgeous binding by Bumpus in full blue morocco with dozens of elaborate green, dark brown, ochre and red leather onlays forming an elegant and wide blossom and vine pattern surrounding the outer half-inch perimeter of the front cover and coming together in the center with additional onlaid designs via a braid motif. Spine similarly detailed. Wide dentelles with bold gilt parallel ruling (five lines each). AEG. Signed in gilt pallet at rear, "Bumpus Ltds, Oxford." One very small nick to petal onlay on cover, a fine example of Bumpus craftmanship.
