Description:
This is a very lovely small book of poetry by Dante Gabriel Rossetti with illustrations by Paul Woodroffe. It was published by David McKay, Philadelphia, and dates to circa 1916. This appears to be a special binding, more luxurious than the softcover binding that McKay published, because this one has covers of thick rose-colored suede leather with the title and author impressed deeply into the suede on the front cover and spine. The front and back have double-page illustrations by Paul Woodroffe, as shown, and the title page has a lovely design as well as a facing illustration; there are 3 other illustrations among the 27 pages. The illustrations are in the Arts & Crafts or Art Nouveau style. The page edges are gilt, as shown, and there is a pink ribbon bookmark sewn in.

The interiors are in good, clean condition; the only condition…

Description:
This is a signed first edition copy of a novel published in 1913. It is a large, handsome volume with the cover bearing an elaborate gilt rectangle of Art Nouveau leaves and swirls and a color illustration inset. The condition is quite good with the following exceptions: the spine is sunned, bumped, and faded, and the gilt lettering and design on the spine is faded. The corners also have wear. The inside cover page bearing the author's signature has a rectangular discoloration, as shown in the photo. There is a frontispiece with full color illustration but the tissue covering has come loose but is present and could be tipped in. The title page is printed in red and black, and red is used for the beginning of each chapter. There are six color illustrations. 118 pages, random-cut deckle edge thick pages; a bit of foxing on the back inside covers.Please examine the photos to evaluate the condition of this rare book, and please contact me for more information.
