The Golden Treasury. A lovely copy of Palgrave's incredibly successful anthology, bound by the noted binder Frank Garrett. Garrett, who studied under Douglas Cockerell, was closely associated with the Birmingham School of Art and regularly exhibited at arts and crafts exhibitions of the period.The Golden Treasury (1861 and 1897) was "remains one of those rare instances in which a critical work has substantive imaginative value, and entitles its author to rank among creative artists'" (quoted in ODNB). This is the augmented edition, with additional material chosen by the poet Laurence Binyon, whose own verse ("they shall not grow old as we grow old") is immortalized on Britain's war monuments.
