About This Item
Elkin Mathews, then Elkin Mathews and John Lane, London., 1892;1894. First editions, these being the large paper copies, 50 of which were printed for the first volume and 70 for the second. Octavo. Two volumes: pp xvi, 94; xvi, 136. Period bindings of full red morocco with raised bands, that of the first volume being by Bickers and the second by Morell (despite which, they match perfectly). As well as Yeats, contributors include Ernest Dowson, Lionel Johnson, Richard Le Gallienne, Victor Plarr, Ernest Rhys, Arthur Symons, et al. These were the Club's only anthologies. It continued to hold its informal meetings, with a somewhat opaque membership, until 1904.On each front pastedown is the pictorial bookplate of Edward S. Sullivan. Some foxing to prelims and a little surface abrasion to covers. A very good set indeed, and scarce in the large paper issue.
