The Christian Year, etc
An illustrated gift edition of John Keble's 1827 devotional poem cycle for the church calendar, issued in London by Cassell, Petter & Co. in 1880 for Anglican family reading. Each page of verse sits inside an engraved border of vines, lilies, strapwork and crosses, alongside wood-engraved woodland and garden vignettes and horizontal floral swags with caterpillars and tendrils — usable as page frames, ornamental rules and small nature scenes.
