A charming antique Everyman’s Library edition of “Essays in the Study of Folk-Songs” by Countess Evelyn Martinengo-Cesaresco, part of the “Essays and Belles Lettres” series edited by Ernest Rhys. Published in London by J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd. and in New York by E.P. Dutton & Co. Bound in the classic Everyman’s Library red cloth with gilt Art Nouveau spine decoration featuring the iconic Everyman motto: “Everyman, I will go with thee and be thy guide, in thy most need to go by thy side.” Decorative Art Nouveau illustrated endpapers. Shows honest shelf wear consistent with age — some rubbing to the spine and corners, fraying to the headband/tailband, and light cocking. No dust jacket. A lovely small-format piece for a library shelf, folklorist’s collection, or as a decorative accent book.
