Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. E.H. Corbould and John Gilbert (illustrator). 5th Edition or Later Reprint. Please email for Photographs or further information. Very Good - A beautiful example of a T. Nelson & Sons deluxe gift edition, bound in genuine Mauchline Fern Ware ? polished sycamore veneer boards decorated with natural fern silhouettes produced by laying real fronds on the wood, staining, and varnishing. The red morocco spine is gilt-titled, with light rubbing to extremities. All edges gilt. Illustrated throughout with engraved plates by E.H. Corbould and John Gilbert, each with tissue guards. The fernware finish is is a highly labor intensive method of creating a decorative cover that uses a reverse stencil method, wherein dried fern leaves are arranged and pinned in place on a wooden surface coated with resin, which is then (in this case) sprayed with brown dye. The leaves are removed and varnish is applied to the surface. This particular binding is part of a collection of fern ware bound books published by T. Nelson and Son, in London/Edinburgh/New York in 1872. A rare surviving example of a Mauchline Fern Ware binding, produced in Scotland for Nelson's luxury editions during the height of the Victorian fern craze (c.1865-1875). Fern Ware bookbindings are far less common than Mauchline boxes and accessories, making this a particularly desirable copy. Very Good. Boards remain glossy and bright with minor surface wear; light rubbing to spine ends; mild foxing to preliminaries; binding sound and tight. Owner's inscription: "A. Davies, Jan 1st 1874" to front endpaper. Bookseller's label: "M. Johnson, 108 Western Road, Brighton" to rear pastedown. Bookseller label on FEp "M. Johnson, 108, Western Road, Brighton". Mild scuffing to red morocco spine. Some mild spotting on prelims. A lovely copy. 1872 Reprint , Mauchline fern ware binding. THE POETICAL WORKS OF JOHN MILTON By John Milton Author Bio: John Milton (9 December 1608 - 8 November 1674) was an English poet and intellectual. His 1667 epic poem Paradise Lost, written in blank verse and including over ten chapters, was written in a time of immense religious flux and political upheaval. It addressed the fall of man, including the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and God's expulsion of them from the Garden of Eden. Paradise Lost is widely considered one of the greatest works of literature ever written, and it elevated Milton's widely-held reputation as one of history's greatest poets. He also served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. Illustrated By: E.H. Corbould and John Gilbert Illustrator Bio: E.H. Corbould and John Gilbert were both 19th-century illustrators known for their work on popular books, most notably a specific edition of John Milton's Poetical Works. Their collaboration on these editions is a key reason their names are frequently mentioned together. John Gilbert was a highly prolific illustrator and painter, while Edward Henry Corbould was also a respected painter and illustrator who frequently illustrated children's books and stories of courage and principle. E.H. Corbould: A 19th-century British painter and illustrator who also illustrated stories of courage and principle. He was a recipient of the Royal Society of Arts. John Gilbert: A highly prolific 19th-century British artist, painter, and illustrator who is best known for his book illustrations and for his contributions to periodicals like Punch and Illustrated London News.
