Title	Poems
Description	Gilt edges. Bevelled boards. Brown sand-grain cloth. Beige endpapers and pastedowns. Binder's ticket on lower pastedown: '\| BOUND \| BY \| LEIGHTON \| SON AND \| HODGE. \|' The lower cover is identical to the upper but blocked in blind only. The upper cover is blocked in gold. The design is of a large flywheel, to the right of the cover. The drive shaft is linked to it and is blocked across the cover to the spine. Behind the wheel, a garden trellis has flowers and branches blocked on it, all in gold. Two groups of fillets, each ending in four `circlets' are blocked in gold on each corner. The title and imprint: ' \| HOOD'S POEMS \| ILLUSTRATED \| BY BIRKET FOSTER \| E. MOXON SON & Co. \| 1871 \|' are blocked in relief within ribbon-shaped gold lettering-pieces, which extend laterally and diagonally left from the trellis and from the fly wheel. At the head and at the tail, there is a wide border blocked in gold, with flower heads and other ornamental patterns blocked within squares. The spine is blocked in gold and in relief. A single gold fillet is blocked on the perimeter. The title: '\| POEMS. \| HOOD. FOSTER \|' is blocked in relief along the spine, within a long gold lettering-piece, shaped as a driveshaft. Small decoration is blocked in gold within squares at the head and at the tail, together with two small circles in gold.
