Homes of Famous Women 1890s vintage Elbert Hubbard Little Journeys, gilt decorated antique book

Beautiful old edition of Elbert Hubbard - Little Journeys to the Homes of Famous Women. Copyright date is 1897. Gold decorated cloth cover, deckle edge pages. This is a lovely vintage book in the early Arts &Crafts style.

This is in good, clean condition overall. There's an old book shop price in pencil, and an inscription in ink which is priceless. 'The wicked borrow but return not.'
