Item description from seller

A fine copy of the Folio Society limited edition of Metamorphoses illustrated with 16 tipped in colour plates, two of which are folding, from paintings by Titian. Copy no 1553/2750. The book is bound in full Nigerian goatskin with a gilt design by Simon Brett based on Bernini's Apollo and Daphne, on the front board. It is housed in a brown buckram solander box. It is a beautiful and high quality production with an introduction by Madeleine Forey and an essay by Michael Prodger on Titian and Ovid, which goes into detail about each of the paintings by Titian used to illustrate the book. The binding and contents are in fine condition. The clamshell box is in near fine clean sound condition with a small indentation on the top edge and very slight scuffing. Contents: pp xxxviii, 378.

Store description

We are a small online bookselling business specialising in rare and unusual books, generally published before 1900, with a focus on natural history, history, illustrated works and some literature. We are based in the beautiful Orkney Islands and have a specialist Orkney/Shetland section in our listings. We run a bookshop in Orkney - Birsay Books - where we have a wide range of stock from science fiction and fantasy to maritime and, of course, Orkney/Shetland and Scottish material. We take images of all of our books to supplement the online descriptions, and are always happy to provide more on request. When you order from us, we ensure that books are properly packed to protect their condition and we always use recorded or 'signed for' postal services for additional security. Because we are based on an island which depends on ferries and flights for shipping, we can not guarantee 'next day' delivery. We will simply get your purchase to you as quickly and safely as we can.…
