An 1888 London edition of Oliver Goldsmith's poems, illustrated with wood engravings after designs by Charles Cope, Thomas Creswick, John Horsley, Richard Redgrave and Frederick Tayler, aimed at Victorian readers of gift-book verse. The plates show eighteenth-century villagers, courting couples, travellers and cottage doorways in loose open line, useful for figure groups, period costume and light pastoral backgrounds.
