Why You’ll Love It
This is a beautifully handcrafted readable Art Nouveau style miniature edition of Lucile. Created in an exact 1:12 scale, this finely bound hardcover faithfully reproduces the celebrated 1897 edition of Owen Meredith's beloved narrative poem, illustrated by Madeleine Lemaire. It has a soft cream-colored cover crowned by bold Art Nouveau typography reading "Lucile by Owen Meredith, Illustrated by Madeleine Lemaire." The remainder of the cover is decorated with an all-over pattern of blooming roses and flowing foliage in gilt-inspired detailing. Opening the book reveals pages filled with genuine readable text, perfectly scaled and legible with the aid of a magnifying glass.
A fabulous addition to Victorian and Edwardian libraries, elegant studies, manor houses, and museum-quality dollhouse collections.
