Our Home and Country W.L. Taylor Illustrated Book 1908 First Ed

Originally published by Moffat, Yard & Company of New York in October 1908, Our Home and Country by W. L. Taylor is a beautifully illustrated gift book celebrating American history, literature, and patriotic themes through a collection of evocative artwork paired with prose and poetry, including selections from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow reprinted by permission of Houghton, Mifflin & Company. This early 20th-century edition features striking Art Nouveau-inspired decorative title pages, full-page illustrations, and an attractive green cloth binding with gilt lettering and an inset illustration. As the copyright and publication dates are both 1908, this is considered an early first edition/first printing of the work. This copy includes 2 loose pages but remains an appealing example for collectors of illustrated books, Americana, Longfellow, or Edwardian-era decorative publishing. Good antique condition with wear consistent with age and use, including the noted loose pages, light foxing, and shelf wear.
