Old Book of Poems

  

  



This lovely old book arrived yesterday.  Full of lots and lots of lovely illustrations.  It is a first edition, dated 1872 and it has hardly been read in all those years.  Mary Howwitt's Poems:  Birds and Flowers.  Sketches of Natural History. Illustrated by Giacomelli.  It is hard to photograph, but even the gold page edging is in excellent condition.
