Inner boards with wide morocco panels decorated with green leather onlay shamrocks and gilt decoration and ruled lines. Green silk endpapers, which are bit rubbed. Binders monogram G W B (possible Guild of Women Binders, but I can find no record of this book being bound by them) in gilt on the inside of the rear board. All edges gilt. The spine is a bit faded and the edges a little rubbed but overall this is still an attractive craft binding.
