Poems for reading and memorizing. First[-eighth] grades

1919 · Boston, New York [etc.] Houghton Mifflin company · 11 pictures

A 1919 school poetry reader published by Houghton Mifflin in Boston, New York and Chicago for New York State grade-school pupils, part of the Riverside Literature Series. Its title pages show the series banner framed by ornate Renaissance-style borders of foliage, scrolls and a central pilaster, with centred black-letter-like lettering and a small printer's mark. A designer could take from them a model for a classical bordered title page, with symmetrical columns and dense decorative framing around restrained typography.
