Beschreibung

Octavo. lxxxii, [1] pp. Limited edition, one of 310 copies. Bound as issued in green cloth and stamped in blind with a design by Ricketts; gilt title on the spine; printed on handmade paper with a "mermaid" watermark by Messrs. Arnold. A very nice copy with limited wear to the binding; the spine is just a touch darkened; offsetting to the endpapers and adjacent blanks; scattered foxing as usual along the bottom edge of some leaves with some of the preliminary blanks and the title pages having foxing to the entire leaf.; handsome armorial bookplate on the front pastedown. Despite the foxing, this is a nice copy of this play from one of the most elegant and pleasing sets of Shakespeare's Plays with beautiful Art Nouveau influenced cover design and borders by Charles Ricketts.
