About this Item

8vo, original gilt stamped cloth, corners and spine ends a bit worn, 189pp. The patterns and elevations are quite broadly conceived in terms of style, most having first appeared, according to the author, in GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK, and quite a few specify the place of construction and the names of owners. Hobbs prefaces his cornucopia of designs with a revealing text of critical discussion as to how he expects the potential reader to process such information. The gesture itself is quite unusual. First Edition. HITCHCOCK 595. A Good+ copy.
