About This Item
London: Chapman and Hall, 1872. First edition. First edition. Original publisher's green cloth, gilt spine.With the scarce tab, 'This book is now supplied by Elkin Mathews'" (Woodman p.23)--occasionally one finds copies missing the printed slip, leading to speculation as to whether they were publisher's oversights or the results of owners wishing to "enhance" their copies. Exquisite woodcut illustrations by Arthur Hughes including a full-size frontispiece, eight half-page woodcut illustrations at the start of each chapter. With first state ads in back: "Dr. Hake's Poems, Madeline" which was published in 1871, and "Chapman & Hall Publication," containing "Thomas Carlyle's Works," also issued in 1871. An incredibly scarce Pre-Raphaelite book, with intimately PRB illustrations by the famed Arthur Hughes. No other copies located for sale on the internet at the time of writing. Very fine condition.
