Full tan morocco, geometric decoration on the front board composed of thick and thin gilt fillets with a black square at its centre, back board decorated with a thick gilt fillet, spine with raised bands bearing gilt geometric decoration, author, title and illustrator lettered in gilt, slipcase (binding by A. J. Gonon).

Henri Cassiers (1858-1944), an Antwerp painter and poster artist famous for his Red Star Line posters, was the illustrator par excellence of picturesque Flanders and Holland; his watercolours, with their washed skies and red gables, respond here to Verhaeren's verse with a naturalness that has ensured the work's lasting success.
Spine very slightly faded.
