Description

The Song of Hiawatha, 1906 Edition — a collectible intersection of American literature, fine illustration, and early 20th-century bookmaking. This edition of Longfellow’s epic poem is enhanced by the expressive illustrations of Harrison Fisher, an influential American artist renowned for his idealized, graceful depictions of women and folklore.

The poem itself, written in 1855, is a romanticized narrative inspired by Ojibwe legends and became a foundational text in American literary canon. This illustrated edition reflects the Edwardian fascination with Native American culture, nature mysticism, and visual storytelling. The embossed cover, bold fonts, and classical page layouts make it an artifact of literary history as well as decorative design.

A compelling collectible for bibliophiles, historians, and admirers of Golden Age illustration
