A treasured 1895 edition of Sir Walter Scott's classic narrative poem "The Lady of the Lake," made even more special by a handwritten inscription dated March 2, 1899. Published by Ginn & Company in Boston as part of the Home and School Library series, this volume features an engraved portrait frontispiece of Sir Walter Scott and is edited by Edwin Ginn. The decorative deep copper-toned cover with green Art Nouveau-style laurel wreath design and ornamental details shows the quality production values of late 19th-century educational publishing. The binding shows honest wear consistent with over a century of age, with the spine and edges worn but the binding still intact and holding together well. The cream-colored pages have developed a beautiful patina over time and include a few pen markings. Perfect for collectors of vintage literature, Sir Walter Scott enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates inscribed books with personal history.
