Description

A decorative antique edition of Peter the Whaler by W.H.G. Kingston, presented in a striking Art Nouveau-influenced cloth binding.

The cover features stylised linework, architectural motifs, and a silhouetted coastal scene, typical of early 20th-century decorative book design, with contrasting tones of blue and green.

Inside, the book includes illustrated plates, with a detailed title page published by Henry Frowde, Hodder & Stoughton, London.

The narrative itself follows maritime adventure themes, reflecting Kingston’s well-known body of nautical fiction, which was widely read during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The binding design elevates this copy beyond a standard reading edition, making it an attractive display piece as well as a collectible volume.

The combination of decorative cover art and illustrated content gives it both visual and literary appeal.
