This is a beautiful hardcover edition of The Lady of the Lake by Sir Walter Scott. It's so old it doesn't have a copyright date, but the introduction says "Edition 1830". There is also an inscription inside the front cover that says "Xmas 1900". It's in very good shape except for a few small stains on the back cover. The front cover has a gold pattern border down the left side and more than half of the front is a beautiful pink and green floral design on beige. It has no musty odor and you would never know it's almost 200 years old!
