Timoleon (poems)

In the spring of 1891, Melville prepared a collection of poems for press, with the assistance of his wife, Elizabeth.^[2] The volume consisted of old and new poems which reflected the author's meditations on his old age.^[2] Melville dedicated the book to American artist Elihu Vedder in honor of his admiration of Vedder's painting Jane Jackson, Formerly a Slave.^[3]
