A beautifully coordinated pair of vintage Nathaniel Hawthorne classics from the New Wayside Edition, dated 1931. The set includes Tanglewood Tales: The Second Wonder Book and The Snow Image and The Marble Faun, or The Romance of Monte Beni.
Published by Standard Book Company, Ltd., London and New York, the volumes feature matching warm brown bindings embellished with delicate gilt botanical and geometric decoration along the spines. Interior illustrated title pages and black-and-white artwork add further period character.
The subdued brown-and-gold palette makes this pair particularly attractive for decorative library styling, whether displayed upright, stacked on a table or incorporated into a collection of antique and vintage books. Their matching bindings give them a cohesive architectural quality well suited to traditional, English country, Grandmillennial, library or collected interiors.
Dimensions: Each volume approximately 8 in. H x 5 in. W. Together the two spines measure approximately 2.5 in. W.
Condition: Good vintage condition consistent with books approximately 95 years old. The bindings show expected age-related rubbing. There is some fading to the page edges and normal age toning to the interiors. Bindings remain attractive and the pair displays beautifully. Please review photographs for additional condition details.
