"If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends."
Considered a pioneer of the "Glasgow Style," Talwin Morris (1865-1911) was a prolific artist and book designer. His shift towards the characteristic lines and curves of Art Nouveau was especially influential for Victorian book design. The distinctive "peacock's crest" motif seen here would also grace a number of other titles released by the publisher — Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, Thackeray's THE NEWCOMES, Benjamin Disraeli's CONIGSBY, and James Lever's THE CONFESSIONS OF HARRY LORREQUER. An attractive copy of this beloved classic.
