Author: ADAMS, Sarah Flower
Title: Nearer My God to Thee
Description: Buffalo, Berger Publishing Company, 1907. Hardcover. 16mo. Pale blue pictorial paper over boards. (12pp). Color frontispiece, chromolithographs, decorations and decorative borders, rubricated capital letters. Very good. Binding a bit rubbed and slightly edgeworn, though internally fine. A tight and attractive first of this illustrated edition, an elaborate production done in a pseudo illuminated manuscript style, of the best known hymn by the short-lived English poet (1805-48) -- long believed (erroneously) to be the tune played by the Titanic's eight-piece orchestra as the ship sank in 1912. A lovely copy. .
