Time Left: CLOSED
Description
DECORATORS' DREAM: Two HUGE volumes of the best of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's writings are for sale in this auction, certain to delight the interior decorator in you. Too large to read comfortably, these rare volumes were designed as decorative additions to 19th century American homes, and now you can add them to your own 21st century. Published in 1883, these books measure 12 x 10 inches, with hundreds of pages of illustrations, poems and prose. An interesting bit of history: These books were published by Houghton-Mifflin, which for years was housed next door to Park Street Church in Boston, the very building which now houses Marketplace Network, Inc.'s headquarters.
Published in 1883 by Riverside Press (Houghton Mifflin).
