This copy presents beautifully in a vibrant full red morocco binding. The boards are bright and clean, bordered by a sharp, unoxidised double gilt fillet, with only a negligible touch of shelf-wear to the extreme upper right corner of the rear board. The spine, featuring five raised bands and gilt floral compartments, remains remarkably tight and entirely unfaded, preserving a firm and square text-block. All three edges boast a brilliant, unblemished gilt finish. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and free of foxing or inscriptions, complemented by a pristine red ribbon marker. A highly attractive, exceptionally well-preserved copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e A handsome mid-century reprint of Palgrave's \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"61\"\u003eThe Golden Treasury\u003c\/i\u003e, originally published in 1861 and continuously expanded thereafter. This particular copy is a 1960 reprint of the 1956 reset fourth edition, issued as part of the esteemed Oxford Standard Authors (O.S.A.) series, and includes the supplementary poems that brought the anthology up to date at the time of publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eNotably, this volume is presented in a premium full red morocco binding rather than the standard publisher's cloth. Such fine bindings were often specially commissioned by booksellers or given as presentation copies, elevating a beloved household text into a luxurious gift book. While standard cloth copies of this edition are relatively common, those preserved in such bright, unrubbed full leather are scarce on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eSince its first appearance in 1861, Francis Turner Palgrave's \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"69\"\u003eThe Golden Treasury\u003c\/i\u003e has stood as the quintessential anthology of English poetry.
