Item description from seller

A charmingly illustrated copy of James Thomson's seasonal poetry, bound in full calf. Bound in full calf with the original boards rebacked. Comprised of the poetical work following the seasons written by Scottish writer James Thomson. With four sections, each poem originally published one season at a time between 1726 and 1730. Thomson explores the depth and complexity of seasonal change, with references to the landscape and countryside. Seasonal change is presented as being both beautiful and saddening. This copy is accompanied by fourteen engraved plates and vignettes. Collated, complete. With a brief introduction exploring Thomson's life as well as an index and glossary of terms used. Bound in full calf, with the original boards rebacked. Externally, generally smart with slight rubbing and a little bumping to the extremities. Marking to boards and the odd mark to the spine. Pencil inscription to the verso of the front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Ink inscription rubbed to the recto of the frontispiece. Pages are bright and clean, with a little marking to the first and last pages. Very Good.…
