The Story
6j, Alfred Lord Tennyson 1809-1892. Printed in Edinburgh
Notes
A Tennyson Treasury (miniature) refers to a small, pocket-sized collectible edition of select poetry by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, often issued in miniature formats popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These tiny volumes (sometimes as small as about 4″ × 3″) were produced by publishers like the Little Leather Library and others, bound in leather or cloth, and designed to feature Tennyson’s classic verse—sometimes focused on favorite poems or themed selections—making them charming keepsakes for collectors and lovers of Victorian poetry. Such miniature “treasury” editions were part of a broader tradition of condensed literary anthologies and miniature classical works that brought great literature into a decorative, pocket-friendly form.
Description
Soft moss green binding, three edge gold, intact, fine condition
