We are intrigued by this five color decorated binding of The Dream (ca. 1827-1856). Orange, blue, green, faded red or purple, and gold illuminate a scene showing buildings, flora, and a figure repeated in a pattern like a stenciled wallpaper. On our copy, the verso cover was applied upside-down and the ink is a little off register making the imagery more abstract.

The Dream. [New York] : Published by J.C. Riker, N. York., [between 1827 and 1856].  1 v. (unpaged). :  ill. ;  20 cm
