Victorian Nuttall’s Bijou Dictionary, Miniature Green Hardback

An embossed green cover and 640 pages, all in a book just 9 cm tall.

This Victorian edition of Nuttall’s Bijou Dictionary combines a compact reference book with a decorative binding. The embossed green hardcover gives the small volume texture, while its proportions invite a closer look.

Published by Frederick Warne & Co, edited by Alex C. Ewald and printed by Ballantyne Press in Edinburgh, it offers a glimpse into everyday Victorian publishing. Its portable format brings a substantial amount of information into a pocket sized book.

Place it beside larger volumes on a study shelf, or display it in a small cabinet where the binding can be appreciated. The muted green works well with wood, brass and contemporary desk accessories.

An unusual antique gift for a writer, reader or someone who enjoys miniature objects.
