1911 – Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage – Lord Byron | Beautiful Miniature Book

Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage is a remarkable, early 19th-century epic poem that is best-known for bringing author Lord Byron instant success. This work follows a solitary traveler across southern Europe who contemplates Ancient Rome and Greece, and the legacy of ancient Mediterranean civilizations. While the poem itself is still highly desirable today, this particular tome is remarkable – a tiny, hand-painted miniature that is considerably eye-catching. The small scale and carefully decorated binding make this tome a one-of-a-kind book.   Bibliographic Details Title: Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, A Romaunt Author(s): George Gordon Byron Publisher: Venice; Firenze, Prato Edition: 1911 printing Binding: Full vellum binding with hand-painted cover Format: (64mo), single volume Size:  2.75 in x 2 in (7 cm x 5 cm) Collation: 273 pp Contents Include: Complete text in English Provenance: unknown binding painter   Condition: Fine.
