About This Item

London: G. Routledge & Co, 1855. 9 woodcut plates (8 full page and a final vignette), including one by D.G. Rossetti. His first published work. Also one by J.E. Millais, decorations, 2pp. advertisements, original blind-tooled blue cloth with gilt titles to spine. A little rubbing to the spine edges, but overall in excellent condition. An indecipherable signature dated April 8 1856 to the front end paper. The book and plates are in good, clean condition with just the occasional foxing spot. This is widely viewed as one of the most important illustrated books of the Nineteenth Century. "...a book which is frequently seen as the first to contain a genuinely new type of illustration. Rossetti's single contribution 'The Maids of Elfen-Mere' had a profound influence on the Pre-Raphaelites and many of the other illustrators" (Paul Goldman, Victorian Illustrated Books 1850-1870). The Maids of Elfen-Mere was also used as frontispiece in Allingham's Flower Pieces. 222, (ii). pp 175 by 110mm (7 by 4¼ inches). 9 planches gravées sur bois (8 pleine page et une vignette finale), dont une par D.G.Rossetti. (Son premier ouvrage publié) & un de J.E.Millais, décors, 2pp. publicités, toile bleue d'origine estampée à froid avec titres dorés au dos. Un peu frotté sur les bords du dos, mais dans l'ensemble en excellent état. Une signature indéchiffrable datée du 8 avril 1856 au recto du papier. Le livre et les planches sont en bon état et propres avec juste quelques rousseurs occasionnelles. Ceci est largement considéré comme l'un des livres illustrés les plus importants du XIXe siècle. "... un livre qui est souvent considéré comme le premier à contenir un type d'illustration véritablement nouveau. L'unique contribution de Rossetti "Les servantes d'Elfen-Mere" a eu une profonde influence sur les préraphaélites et sur de nombreux autres illustrateurs" ( Paul Goldman, Livres illustrés victoriens 1850-1870). Les Maids of Elfen-Mere ont également été utilisées comme frontispice dans Flower Pieces d'Allingham. 222, (ii). pp 175 par 110mm
