Fifty Perfect Poems. Selected and edited by C. A. Dana and Rossiter Johnson. With seventy illustrations
An illustrated poetry anthology of fifty English and American poems, selected by New York Sun editor Charles A. Dana and Rossiter Johnson, published by D. Appleton & Co. in New York in 1883 for the American gift-book market. The seventy wood-engraved plates are dark tonal landscapes in narrow horizontal frames \u2014 windswept trees, marsh reeds, a lit sea horizon, a woman under gas lamps on wet pavement \u2014 useful for night skies, silhouetted foliage edges and ruled border formats.
