4to. Unpaginated. Cloth spine with stiff paper boards. Front and back of boards embossed in gold pattern and gold lettering. The ivory-colored boards are quite clean, with a small amount of rubbing and fading to gilt pattern, but not to the bright title. Tightly bound, clean pages printed on heavy paper.
Three full page illustrations by Walter Crane, one of the greatest and most innovative of all children's book illustrators. Elizabeth Harrison was an influential American educator who established standards and started a college for training kindergarten teachers. An uncommon book. While not an obvious source for children's stories, this edition of the Divine Comedy is written in simple language for mothers to use to give their children moral instruction and to introduce them to Dante's epic.
