Description: Offered here is " Elfin Song: A Book of Verse and Pictures " by Florence Harrison, in a presumed first edition published in 1912, although this volume is undated. This edition features a beautifully designed and illustrated book of poetry, with 12 tipped-in color plates, 12 full-page black-and-white plates, illustrative endpapers and numerous smaller illustrations by the author. This is quite a scarce book from this extraordinary illustrator. This pre-owned hardcover book is Very Good Minus condition. This book comes with brown boards with an illustrated cover and titles along the spine. The covers have edge wear, particularly along the spine and corners. The spine has a large chip at the head resulting in some noticeable loss of material (1 x 1/2 inch). The book block has moderate foxing on all edges. There is also a moderate amount of foxing on the free end papers, the title page and publishers page. Some additional internal pages have only minor foxing, and foxing does not appear on any of the color-plate pages. Otherwise, the pages are all clear and unmarked. Please see accompanying photographs, which are of the actual item you will receive. If you would like to see more photos of this item, or if you have any questions, please send a message.
