"Airy, Fairy Lilian, Flitting, fairy Lilian, When I ask her if she love me, Claps her tiny hands above me, Laughing all she can; She 'll not tell me if she love me, Cruel little Lilian."

Decorative Sunday: Gems from A.L. Bond

This week we highlight the chromolithographic illustrations of Anne Lydia Bond,set as frames for three poems—the “gems” of Three Gems in One Setting, published by W. Kent & Co.in 1860 on London’s Paternoster Row. David Brand printed the images, and Leighton Son and Hodge bound the work in a gold blocked cover.

The three texts are “Poet’s Song” by Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892), “Field Flowers” by Thomas Campbell (1777-1844), and “Pilgrim Fathers” by Felicia Hemans (1793-1835).
