Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Sonnets from the Portuguese; by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. From the Colophon Here end the Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, reprinted, in the Riccardi Press Fount, by Chas. T. Jacobi, and published for the Medici Society, Ltd. by Philip Lee Warner at VII Grafton St., London, W. MDCCCCXIV. From the verso of the Half-Title of this edition of SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE in the Eleven Point Riccardi Fount have been printed on handmade Riccardi Paper 1000 copies for Great Britain, and on Vellum 12 copies, of which 10 are for sale. Three Hundred and Fifty of these paper copies have been specially bound in leather by SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE of LONDON of which this is Number 318. This title is one of the series called THE RICCARDI PRESS BOOKLETS. Other titles in the series are noted in the back of the book. The Riccardi Press watermark is visible on some of the pages. E. B. Browning (1806 1861) was an English poet of the Victorian Age. Browning was widely popular in the United Kingdom and the United States during her lifetime. Edgar Allan Poe was inspired by her poem Lady Geraldine's Courtship and specifically borrowed the poem's metre for his poem The Raven. Her poetry greatly influenced Emily Dickinson, who admired her as a woman of achievement. Sonnets from the Portuguese, one of her most famous works, was published in 1850. There is debate about the origin of the title. Some say it refers to the series of sonnets of the 16th-century Portuguese poet Luís de Camões. However, "my little Portuguese" was a pet name that Browning had adopted for Elizabeth, and this may have some connection. The Riccardi Press Books were a series of distinguished small-press reprints of mostly literary titles. The series name was after the typeface, Riccardi, created for the series. The Medici Society Ltd was founded in 1908 by Philip Lee Warner and Eustace Gurney. The company's original aim was to bring artists' work to the appreciation of a wider public through technically cutting-edge high-end colour reproductions, with subjects chosen for their artistic value, beauty or sentiment. The Medici Society entered the publishing business via the Riccardi Press, which it helped to get set up. This book, 27 pages plus end-pages is in near-fine condition. The bottom 15 mm of the spine is scuffed but not impact text or decoration. Some darkening at the top of the first free endpaper. A very attractive and collectible copy of a scarce private press title.…
