Offered is an original 1882 first edition of Songs of Lake Geneva and Other Poems by John Bramhall Kaye, published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York.

This attractive Victorian-era cloth hardcover features its original brown publisher's binding with gilt lettering on the front cover and spine. The book includes a beautiful period gift inscription dated Christmas 1883, adding to its historical appeal.

The binding remains intact with expected wear from over 140 years of age, including rubbing, fraying at the spine ends, bumped corners, and light soiling to the covers.

Interior pages are generally clean with age-related toning. Please review all photographs carefully, as they are part of the description and show the exact book you will receive.

A wonderful addition for collectors of 19th-century poetry, Victorian literature, antique books, and G. P. Putnam first editions.
