This Vintage Queen Victoria Book is Lytton Strachey’s celebrated biography, published in London by Chatto & Windus as part of The Phoenix Library. First issued in the Phoenix Library in 1928, this vintage British book has a green cloth binding with gilt lettering and wonderfully prim little flowers running down the spine. Exactly the sort of decorative vintage book that makes a bookshelf look as though someone in the house might actually correspond by post.
Stack it beside a lamp, tuck it among your favorite old books or leave it on the guest-room nightstand for anyone feeling ambitious.
