Alfred Lord Tennyson’s In Memoriam, The Lover’s Tale and Other Poems is a beautiful Victorian-era poetry book in decorative brown cloth. The silver-toned floral ornament, elaborate border and gilt page edges make this Home Book Company edition especially lovely displayed on a bookshelf.
In Memoriam A.H.H. is Tennyson’s celebrated elegy written following the death of his close friend Arthur Henry Hallam. Composed over many years, the work explores grief, love, memory, faith and the search for meaning after loss—and became one of Tennyson’s defining works.
Why I Chose This Piece
I loved this one before I even opened it. The warm brown cloth, delicate silver decoration and aged gilt edges give it exactly the kind of quiet, romantic character I look for in an antique book—and the subject of remembrance makes it even more meaningful.
