This book is printed before 1894 due to the hand written dedication
Birthday calendar book. 131 pages. 5.25 x 3.75" Books such as this were used to enumerate loved ones' birthdates. This edition conflates each calendar date with a particular flower (illustrated therein), and a well-known verse from popular poetry. This is a very well-preserved specimen.
Book is in Very Good condition given the age. Cover is missing bottom portion of applied paper floral decal. Gilding on front and spine very good. Embossing still fairly strong. Pages show some toning, but full-color images are vivid and strong. Binding is tight and study, minor cracking at front of book. Half title is personalized, smudgy; overleaf pages have some names written in.
