About this ebook
Unsigned binding design likely by Edwin Austin Abbey in brown over gold on olive green diagonally ribbed cloth. Includes frontispiece and over 130 illustrations from wood engravings by William Hamilton Gibson and Frederic Dielman. An idyllic tale of human love set among the changing seasons on a farm in the Hudson Highlands. Originally published as an 1884 story series in Harper's Magazine. A stunning binding design that contains similar design elements as Fly-Rods and Fly-Tackle. Nature's Serial Story and Fly-Rods and Fly-Tackle have similar Arts and Crafts inspired waving lines that provide the illusion of moving water, and were released together with Edwin Austin Abbey's memorable Arts and Crafts inspired binding design for Sketching Rambles in Holland by Harper as holiday books in 1885. All three books were bound in what Harper's called "illuminated cloth". As the Arts and Crafts font for Nature's Serial Song and and Sketching Rambles in Holland are very similar and the books have the same general feel, and as Abbey was actively designing covers for Harper at the time, Austin Abbey Rare Books is provisionally attributing the binding design of Nature's Serial Story to Edwin Austin Abbey pending additional research. -- Austin Abbey Rare Books.
