Lyrics of love and laughter

Paul Laurence Dunbar (Author), Alice C. Morse (Binding designer)
Designer of binding was Alice Cordelia Morse (1863-1961). Morse's publisher used the Art Nouveau front cover stamp of My Lady's Slipper for three titles. These include A Singer from the Sea by Amelia E. Barr (1898) and Lyrics of Love and Laughter by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1903). The flexibility of the design shows Morse's ability as a commercial designer
