This collection of poetry by Alfred, Lord Tennyson features poems published between 1830 and 1874. The exterior has brown cloth boards with a pictorial front cover and spine. The exterior is faded and discolored in some spots, particularly on the back cover. The edges are rubbed and worn and the corners are bumped. The hinges are cracked and the binding is loose. The title page is missing although all the poems listed in the table of contents appear to be present. The pages have some foxing and a few of the poems have some pencil underlining.
