Description

First edition. The poem taken from the second Quaritch edition of the 19th century (with the additional quatrains added). 20 tipped-in color plates by Edmund Dulac mounted on cream colored sheets with elaborate border designs, another border design encloses each page of the text. 4to, publisher’s original full white polished buckram lettered and elaborately decorated in gilt on spine and upper cover. The decorated cover depicts a wreath, composed at the top of two peacocks and at the bottom, of two elephants facing. A wonderful copy of this very beautifully produced book, the text block and plates all in very fine condition, the white cloth still very fresh and very bright, the giltwork sharp and very well preserved.
