This 1900 edition of Poems of Oliver Wendell Holmes is a beautifully preserved antique volume with intricate gold gilt cover detailing. Inside, you'll find a frontispiece photo of Holmes protected by its original tissue guard. The pages have a warm, aged tan, and while there is some corner wear and a bit of scuffing on the spine and back cover, the book is overall in solid and complete condition. There is a library plate on the inside front cover and a small corner piece missing from the first blank page, likely where a name or price was once written. The gilt on the page edges still shines, and there is no writing throughout the text itself. This is a wonderful vintage piece for any poetry collector.
