This is the antique 1911 first edition of Joyce of the Jasmines by Ralph Henry Barbour. It has dark red covers with white flower vines on the front cover and the title lettered in gold. The front cover also has a full color portrait inset of Joyce in the Gibson Girl style. The spine is also lettered in gold with a gold flower. The endpapers are illustrated with red line jasmine flower bouquets with a book plate to write your name inside the front cover. The book is fully illustrated with a repeating pattern of black and white illustrations of gardens and gazebos on every page and also with full color illustration plates. There are 205 pages.
The book is in great antique condition for its age and use. The covers have general wear with some chipping to the white paint on the cover and darkening to the gold lettering on the spine. The gold lettering on the front cover is intact and bright, as is the front cover portrait. The covers are attached at the spines but are a little wobbly. The title page has started to separate. The pages are yellowing. The illustrations are still bright.
The book measures 8.5 by 6.25 inches. It is 1 inch thick.
