Harris, 1853." AAS sold stamp in rear. All edges gold gilt. 32mo. 115 mm. Original worn and faded cloth binding. Front board decorated with flowers in gilt gold. Loss at head and tail of spine. Hardbound. Good. Gift books in the Victorian era were usually literary annuals or keepsakes, often lavishly decorated, which collected essays, short fiction, and poetry. They were primarily published in the autumn, in time for the holiday season and were intended to be given away rather than read by the purchaser. But it is quite clear that they were then passed about within a family or neighborhood, and were read avidly. Their influence on the taste and attitudes of women in the mid-Victorian era cannot be over-estimated. AI BX 8
