Description
An extraordinary mosaic binding, on a scarce title, Poems was commissioned by Marshall C. Lefferts and exhibited at the Grolier Club in April 1897.
About the exhibition, the New York Evening Post said, “Among the Stikeman examples is one very effective composition, entirely in lozenges, as if it were a treatise on the ten of diamonds.”
The design replicates that of a French binding depicted in color facsimile in Beraldi’s Estampes et Livres.
