Item description from seller

An elegant Victorian antiquarian volume containing the comprehensive poetical works of legendary American "Fireside Poet" Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Published in London by George Routledge & Sons in 1877, this coveted "Author's Edition" is a masterpiece of 19th-century book production. The volume is lavishly enhanced with 180 intricate black-and-white vignette designs drawn by the celebrated artist Sir John Gilbert, R.A., and masterfully engraved by the legendary Brothers Dalziel. It includes Longfellow's most famous and enduring masterworks, celebrated for their deep musicality, lyricism, and mythological storytelling. Condition: Internally good with tight, secure structural integrity. The crisp internal pages display light, age-appropriate tanning and scattered foxing spots, primarily concentrated on the early and concluding leaves (including the title page), which is entirely consistent with the heavy paper stock used by Routledge during this era. Beautiful marbled endpapers and 1/4 leather binding. [Shelf 1.6].…
