Beschreibung

First edition. Original publisher's full vellum over boards with large gilt decorated band extended through both covers onto spine, gilt lettering on spine. #116 of 157 copies printed on handmade laid paper, top edges gilt, others uncut. A fascinating copy with an extra set of 32 pages erroneously (hence an error by publisher) bound in between pages 38 and 39, with an autograph note signed [Sutton, 1894] explaining the error. Bookplate of James Torr Harmer, railroad magnate and noted collector. The poems are "now first done into English verse, in the original forms, with a biographical and critical introduction by John Payne." With newspaper clippings mounted at very end relating to Villon. A superb copy. Only copy found in original binding. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 3078
