Cover for ‘The Lyrical Poems’

H. Granville Fell

[1895]

Cloth binding

A lyrical design to match lyrical poems: sensuous and delicately arranged, Fell’s art-work typifies the abstraction of British Art Nouveau. The book was published by John Lane, one of the advocates of the new style who promoted it throughout his catalogue.
