Aurora Leigh by Mrs. Browning by Elizabeth Barrett Browning Red Leather Covers

Published by W. B. Conkey, Chicago. 335 pages. circa late 1800s?, 5” wide x 7 1/4” tall
Unusual Printers Mark on Title Page, plus a mystery item inside the book

It is hardcover with a padded leather cover -gold gilt page edges -and gold title on front and spine. The cover is dark red or a deep maroon color, my photos are making it look a bit brighter than it really is. The front also has a pretty Victorian design in gold, which looks like thistle flowers. There is just a minor bit of wear on the edges. The binding is intact and good. The title page has a beautiful early art deco design printed in green and purple. The green ink is shiny like foil. The title page paper is a heavier stock. The endpapers have an intricate floral design in blue and white with an etching type art style. This is just a stunning piece of work, both in the way the book is constructed – and the poetry inside.

There's also a little mystery item in the book. It is a newspaper clipping with a short verse on it. As a result there's a little discoloration on the page. I feel like this needs to stay with the book. It it titled No Match for Her. The first lines are; "Ah!" he lightly cried, "I cannot / give you the key to my mind. / She smiled till the tips of her / pearly teeth fretted her ripe, red lip.
