THE POETICAL WORKS OF JOHN MILTON With Illustrations by E. H. Corbould and John Gilbert A particularly attractive Victorian gift edition of Milton's poetical works, published by T. Nelson and Sons in 1872 and presented in an uncommon Mauchline fern-ware binding. The polished wooden boards are decorated with naturalistic fern silhouettes using the reverse-stencil process associated with Scottish fern ware. Fern fronds were arranged over the prepared wood before the surrounding surface was coloured and the boards varnished, producing the distinctive pale botanical designs against a rich brown ground. The wooden boards are paired with a red morocco spine, gilt-lettered and decorated, and all edges are gilt. Illustrated with engraved plates after E. H. Corbould and John Gilbert, with tissue guards. An appealing example of Nelson's deluxe literary gift books, combining one of the central works of English literature with a highly decorative form of Victorian binding. Fern-ware bookbindings survive in considerably smaller numbers than the boxes, souvenirs and domestic objects more commonly associated with the Mauchline-ware industry. This is therefore a desirable volume for collectors of decorative bindings, Victorian literature, botanical design and Scottish wooden ware.
