This pretty edition of Flowers of Christian Wisdom by Lucien Henry was published by R Washbourne in 1873. It is bound in original brown cloth with pictorial floral detail to the front and gilt to the spine. The book contains a collection of quotes and passages of Christian wisdom.
It's in very good condition with light wear to the corners and minor marking to the cloth. The spine is slightly darkened.
Inside, there is an old pencilled price to the top corner of the front pastedown and a penned inscription to the half title page. The pages show light age toning and scattered foxing throughout.
Dimensions approximately 14.6cm x 10cm x 1.7cm.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
