It's the first Monday of the month, so it's time to share a cover from one of the books in my collection.
Published by Macmillan around 1890. Cover and internal artwork credited to Hugh Thomson.
The intricate artwork is cut straight into the hardback itself. I feel I should know what the plant is but I can’t work it out. Anyway, it’s fabulously well done and can you spot the singing bird on the right?
