Description

Together two volumes. Third edition, revised and with additions, reprinted of POEMS and second edition of POEMS: Second Series. Each with an etched portrait frontispiece after drawings by Jack B. Yeats, title to POEMS printed in red and black. 8vos, in handsome matching contemporary bindings of three-quarter white vellum over green cloth covered boards, gilt trim to the backs and corner-pieces, spines gilt ruled and with gilt trimmed green morocco labels gilt lettered, green marbled endpapers and silk markers, t.e.g. xv, 314; vii, 162 pp. A very bright and handsome collection, the paper fresh and clean but for some minor age spotting at the prelims and untrimmed edges only, the bindings very attractive and in an excellent state of preservation.
