Item description from seller

Large Quarto. Olive green cloth over boards with full paste-on of a Harrison Fisher portrait of a lovely raven-haired lass with ruffled lace collar and "come hither" eyes. Rubbing to extremities A book of flowery pink thorned rose images and flowery romantic quasi-poetic verse illustrated with 12 GORGEOUS full-page color portraits of sexy and confident women (painted by men, of course!), and smaller color in-text portraits throughout. Artists include Howard Chandler Christy, Harrison Fisher, Clarence T. Underwood, and F. Graham Coates. Book is dedicated thusly: "I have known many, Likied a few, Loved one -- Here's to you!" "They may talk of love in a cottage, And bowers of trellised vine, Of nature bewitchingly simple, And milkmaids half divine. But give me a sly flirtation By the light of a chandelier -- With music to play in the pauses, And nobody very near.".
