Beautiful antique illustrated hardcover of "The Poetical Works of Adelaide A. Procter with an Introduction by Charles Dickens - Complete Edition" published by The American News Company.

A complete collection of the Queen Victoria's favorite poet, often called the most popular poet of the Victorian era.

The book is cloth bound in beautiful condition with a strong binding and lovely floral embossed cover and spine. Gilding to the front cover, spine and all edges of the page block. The pages are clean and crisp. Some rubbing to the covers with most to the back cover.

There is no publication date. Based on Ms. Procter's death year, the design of the book, and similar editions found online, I'm placing publication somewhere between 1864 and 1890. Likely 1880s.

CONDITION: Very Good. Crisp copy with sturdy binding, clean pages & light shelf wear. Some rubbing to the covers with most to the back cover.
