Beschreibung
Good condition color illustrated boards with moderate age toning at the front and rear board perimeter. Includes Preface by Horatia K.F. Gatty dated May 1886; Preliminary Page Note by Juliana Horatia Ewing dated February 1884; and Preliminary Page excerpt by George Herbert. All pages are typically age toned but otherwise in fine condition. The spine mesh is almost completely uncovered, the front hinge has started so is tender but all pages are firmly affixed to this antique volume (see photographs). The first age toned blank front endpaper contains a vintage neatly scripted Christmas 1889 gift inscription. Illustrated throughout with elaborately detailed black-and-white drawings plus a black-and-white frontispiece drawing relating to page 14 of the story. "Mary's Meadow first appeared in.Aunt Jdy's Magazine from November 1883 to March 1884. It was the last serial story which Mrs. Ewing wrote, and I believe the suject of it arose from the fact that in 1883, after having spent several years in moving from place to place, she went to live at Villa Ponente, Tauton, where she had a settled home with a garden, and was able to revert to the practical cultivation of flowers, which had been one of the favorite prsuits of her girlhood. The Letters from a Little Garden were published in Aunt Judy's Magazine between November 1884 and February 1885, and as they, as well as Mary's meadow, were due to the interest which my sister was taking in the tending of her own Earthly Paradise, - they are inserted in this volume, although they were left unfinished when the writer was called away to be - "Fast in Thy Paradise, where no flawer can wither!" - Horatia K.F. Gatty, May 1886 - From the Preface. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001402
