1898 Edition of The Works of James Whitcomb Riley, Vol. IV

This is an antique 1898 edition of The Works of James Whitcomb Riley, Vol. IV, featuring his collected piece Pipes O' Pan at Zekesbury. The volume is bound in a classic late-Victorian half-leather binding, where a dark brown, textured leather covers the spine and corners, transitioning to a green and black speckled, marbled paper on the main boards. The spine features elegant raised bands dividing it into horizontal compartments, with gilt-embossed title blocks reading "Works of James Whitcomb Riley" and "Pipes O' Pan at Zekesbury." Small, decorative golden stalks of corn are stamped into the other panels of the spine, celebrating the midwestern "Hoosier" roots of the author.
