1839. Six volume set of small books of English and American poetry in the original wooden Morocco bookcase. (The glass door is missing.) The set includes Gems from British Poets - Chaucer to Goldsmith, Gems from British Poets - Falconer to Campbell, Gems from British Poets - Living Authors, Gems from British Poets - Sacred, Gems from Shakespeare, and Gems from American Poets. Bound in green watered-silk with highly decorative gilt spines and gilt edges all around, each book contains a frontis engraving unique to that volume. The books are 2 3/4" x 4 1/8" and contain between 210 and 224 pages in each volume with 8 pages of publisher advertisements in the back. The wooden case is 5 3/4" tall, 4 1/2" wide, and 3 1/8" deep. The books sit snugly in their case and the spines show some wear, especially at the head, where they would have been tugged to remove them from the little bookcase. The wear to the silk spine is greatest to Gems from American Poets. A portion of the silk on the front board of Living Authors has lifted from the backing, creating an air bubble, and the Living Authors inside hinges are beginning to split. The pages in all volumes are bright, tight, clean and unmarked. The text blocks are all sound. Classic poetry in a lovely presentation that is almost 200 years old, in very nice condition. Please see all images. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers ABE-1639369438502
