Hardcover. Condición: Good. 2nd Edition, Illustrated Edition. This is the First Trade Edition of "Lamia's Winter Quarters" by Alfred Austin, which was preceded by a Limited Edition. It was published by Adam & Charles Black in London, in 1907. The book Contains 16 lush color Illustrations of the Tuscan landscape by George S. Elgood, and some small pen and ink drawings by William Scott. The book is now Out of Print - OP. Lamia's Winter Quarters is one of a series of beautifully illustrated travel-based books of fiction published by A. & C. Black. This one takes place is Tuscany, and it is a deeply romantic fictional discourse between three characters, interspersed with poetry. The dream-like Tuscan landscape and culture is the inspiration for their reflections. Look past the somewhat worn exterior to the beautiful plate illustrations. It's a lovely book. TITLE : Lamia's Winter Quarters AUTHOR : Alfred Austin (1835 - 1913) Austin was chosen as Poet Laureate after Tennyson's death. ILLUSTRATOR (Color Plates) : George S. Elgood (1851 - 1943 -- famous for his paintings of formal gardens) ILLUSTRATOR (Line Drawings) : William Scott IMPRINT : Adam & Charles Black Co. PLACE : London, England DATE : 1907 STATUS : OP DETAILS : Trade Hardcover; Dimensions 6.5 inches x 9 inches; red cloth-covered boards and spine, with orange and black border decorations on spine and front - gilt lettering on spine and front; contains 16 color plates (printed on calendered paper) with tissue guards; numerous line vignette drawings through the text; top edge gilt; 163 pages, plus 4 pages of ads for "Black's Beautiful Books." CONDITION -- GOOD PLUS ONLY -- This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following particulars noted: EXTERIOR - Spine is a bit faded. Covers have some light spotting, small, scattered water droplet stains, a bit of smudging and a bit of weathering. Corner tips are softy bumped; top edge gilt of text-block is still fairly bright. Front cover gilt is bright. BINDING - Solid but tender: The text-block is subject to strain and is somewhat shaken due to its thickness and the heaviness of its paper stock, and thus warrants care when turning pages. Paper over front hinge is split at the head (about an inch). Rear end-paper hinge is solid. INTERIOR - End-papers are toned, especially on the rear free end-paper (this is a production effect). On the front free end-paper there is a partially obscured signature (in India Ink- we can't read the name - could be Carrie). There is evidence of a minor mending to the attachment of the frontispiece (neatly done and of no real effect). There is some light scattered foxing and a bit of smudging to the interior - this last most obviously on the backs of a few plates. Pages 68 - 76 have a strip of serious toning from a previous owner's leather bookmark. Those pages are still readable, despite a vertical stripe of darkening. For the most part the interior is clean and presentable. The color pictures display brightly, although the tissue guards are darkened. At the bottom edge of the front paste-down is a bookstore label : (F. W. Chaundy, Bookseller, 104 High Street, and 36 Broad Street, Oxford). George S. Elgood & William Scott (ilustrador).…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Illustrated Edition. Alfred Austin's "The Garden That I Love", a tale of celebration of nature, gardens and gardening, was published in London by Adam and Charles Black in 1906 (a year after it's first release), and is a charming book from the Edwardian era - in excellent, clean preservation. This is a book that does present well. It is also a unique and very apt book, for it bears the personal bookplate of the legendary English gardener, author and broadcaster, Alan Titchmarsh (to the front pastedown), which is nice to see and certainly adds interest. Alfred Austin was an English poet (he became Poet Laureate in 1896) and his poetic and tender narrative of a year spent in a beloved garden is nicely supported by the 16 colour plates from George S. Elgood, each with captioned tissue guards. The book is very attractively preserved in its original binding of green cloth over boards with a grey and black border with gilt stamping on the cover, and top edge gilt. Aside from browning to the blank end-leaves, and light age-spotting along the closed fore-edge, the book is in very good condition - no inscriptions, and with the pages within clean and free from scuffing or markings. Soundly bound, the boards display just a touch of light age-related wear commensurate with its antiquarian status. A thoroughly nice copy, and a rather unique one, too, with the positive of the famed gardener's bookplate. Dimensions: approx. 16cm x 23cm. George S. Elgood (ilustrador).…
