{"product_id":"1926-the-last-essays-of-elia-by-charles-lamb-finely-bound-copy","title":"1926 The Last Essays of Elia by Charles Lamb [Finely Bound Copy]","description":"A wonderful edition of Charles Lamb's Last Essays, a collection of musings and reflections on the writer's youth and the world he observed from the sidelines of society. Charles wrote to support himself and his sister Mary, who he became responsible for after a severe, violent mental breakdown. The Lamb siblings often worked together on literary projects, many of which went on to inspire other great pieces of work, including a short musical piece by Sir Edward Elgar. This particular copy is bound by Bayntun Riviere of Bath, a highly celebrated collaboration between two great Victorian binding firms. As 'Last Essays' is usually sold as a set alongside Lamb's earlier collection of essays, this copy is discounted. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn very good condition with clean, bright illustrations by Charles E.
