Author: Snell, Charles Livingston

This is a book created to be given. At its center is a poem by Charles Snell, published in 1914 as a small gift book. In it the giver, in a series of concrete images, extends the recipient many good wishes. Snell's words are here presented within decorative borders made by Daniel Maclise for a book published in 1846. Each wish is illustrated with images by a variety of painters and illustrators ranging over more than 150 years.
