Item description & background story:
This is an extremely rare book written in 1886, published in Barcelona, called "Poemas de la Biblia: Moises" written by D. Cecilio Navarro. I found it at an antiques market in the south of Spain. I was drawn to the impeccable art nouveau illustrations on the front and back cover. They are absolutely stunning. I have come to find out that this author wrote a series of bible stories, but I have only been able to locate this story of Moises (Moses) and have seen the story of Jesus for sale locally but don't own it myself. If you are interested in rare books, you've got to add this to your collection. If you are interested in graphic design, typography, fonts, illustrations, you need this book to study! It is so beautiful.

Specifics:
It measures 6.75 inches long and 4.5 inches wide, weighing 81 grams and it has 60 pages.

Condition description:
As you can see in the photos, the binding is loose but still together. It has some stains on the pages also. Please explore the photographs carefully to observe the condition.
