This fore-edge painting, depicting a hunting scene set in a lush landscape, is from a beautiful binding of William Somerville’s poem “The Chace”. Somerville, a country gentleman with a passion for writing, created this poem in Miltonic blank verse. It traces the history of hunting and is also sprinkled with his own advice on hunting and breeding.Call number: 821.05 So53C 1796http://ow.ly/Xc6u30eXuuw* * *#ForeedgeFriday #foreedge #KislakCenter #rarebooks #Pennlibraries #librariesofinstagram #Fridayreads #publisherbinding #bookbinding #hunting #breeding #countryside #deweydecimalsystem #deweydiving -- source link
