About This Item
Portland Maine: Thomas B Mosher, 1920. Burton wrote this poem in 1854, but only published it in 1880, in a tiny edition for his friends, adopting the persona of "F.B." or "Frank Baker." Since then it has been republished by many houses. Mosher printed several editions with different limitations, this designated as the Eleventh, and LIMITED to 1500 copies. This is a Very Good (Plus) copy, bound in gray paper boards with a banded vellum spine and paper label; yapped edges. Clean text; xvi, 125 pages, all rough-cut; frontis portrait of Burton; title page printed in red and black. Contains Swinburne's Elegy for Burton; interestingly, these pages are unopened. Really one of Mosher's nicest productions. A bit of darkening at the edges; else, a Fine copy. Issued with a tan cardboard slipcase, which is present but in rather delicate condition, with several splits; however, the case could easily be reinforced with Holland tape.. Limited. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.
