colour engravings slipcase (1 Ergebnisse)

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Handsome clamshell slipcase containing the highly decorated chamfer edged edition brought out to exploit the fourteen coloured engravings by Cooper, Clay & Company, a bit of a novelty for the time. There are some tissue guards in place, and the heavyweight smooth art paper shows the plates at their best. Stored inside this clamshell box, made at a later date, has preserved the book and its gilt Victorian binding. At the rear of the book is a facsimile of the fair copy written by the poet.
