This stunning little children's book The Song of the Bell by F.E.Weatherly was published by Hildesheimer and Faulkner. It is undated, but after some research, I've managed to date it to the 1870's. It is bound in pictorial navy cloth. The Song of the Bell by F.E.Weatherly was an illustrated poetic work that uses the casting and ringing of a bell as a poetic metaphor for journey of human life.
It's in very good condition, with light wear to the corners and spine ends. There is a small mark to the back board and a tiny chip in the cloth at the edge of the front board.
Inside, the pages show sporadic foxing and light age toning but are otherwise clean and bright. There are some cracks to the gutter but the pages remain securely bound.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string. The bubble wrap I use is 100% biodegradable and the jiffy bags are recyclable.
Where possible, I use 100% recyclable paper tape, but sometimes I have to use clear plastic tape for extra strength.
