About this Item
New edition. Cloth-bound; hardcover; quarto (26.5cm x 21.0cm x 5.0cm); pp.[26], 369. English text, with an introduction by Alice Meynell and illustrations by Florence Harrison. Bound in publisher's olive green cloth, with gilt titles and decorations to cover and spine; top edge gilt, others untrimmed; pictorial endpapers; thirty-six tipped-in colour plates mounted on grey card with captioned tissue guards, plus 36 black and colour line drawings decorating the text throughout. Condition: NEAR FINE. Binding tight and secure. The covers and contents very well-preserved. Some trivial spotting to fore edge. Without previous ownership markings. Notes: Not only does this book contain most of Rossetti's best loved poetry, it is especially appealing because of the lovely decoration. The illustrations have a mixture of influences: the Pre-Raphaelite period is represented by the use of warm, rich colours, while the art nouveau style is evident in the stylised line drawings. Originally issued by Blackie in white buckram, this issue was published at around the same time by Blackie's sister company, Gresham, using the same sheets as the Blackie issue with a new title page.
