"CHILDE HAROLD" is the most famous of the poems of Lord Byron, and
abounds in the most picturesque and attractive scenes and subjects for
illustration; including the beautiful scenery of the Rhine, and of Italy
and Greece, and the rich treasures of art and history in the classic
countries around the Mediterranean.
The best American artists have drawn these illustrations, _con
amore_, producing a great number of very choice examples of the high
perfection which wood-engraving has reached in the New World. The
general supervision of the work has devolved upon Mr. A.V.S. ANTHONY,
who held the same relation to the recent magnificent editions of
"Lucille" "The Lady of the Lake," "The Princess," and "Marmion;" thus
ensuring the utmost accuracy in study, taste in composition, and
elegance in finish.
The Publishers believe that in this form and with this elegance of
finish the work will be widely welcomed as a Fine Art Edition, and
become the
LEADING HOLIDAY GIFT-BOOK OF THE YEAR.
"In every respect a beautiful book. It is printed from new plates and
its many illustrations have been furnished by artists famous in their
line. It is even more attractive than its handsome predecessors, the
'Marmion' and the Lady of the Lake."--Boston Traveller.
