Decorative paper wraps; pp. [24], each with a calligraphic poem and drawing on the verso. Covers rubbed and a bit loose; spine chipped. One of the laid-in compositions is lightly chipped along the fore-edge, nowhere infringing upon the lettering or drawing. Internally quite lovely. Thirteen original poems and drawings, dating 1842-1846. Remarkably adept, accomplished floral and animal motifs, and short verses. A wonderful exercise in calligraphy and illustration, featuring cats, horses, swans, foxes, roses, and more. Seller Inventory # D1570
