Edited with preface by William M. Rossetti. A new edition in one volume. Ellis and Elvey London 1895. All rights reserved. Drypoint portrait frontispiece by G.W. Sherborne from a photograph taken in 1864 with tissue guard; two binder’s blanks at front and back; pp.xxxii380; original v. note dark green crushed Levant morocco very elaborately tooled gilt on sides and spine after a design by the author lettered gilt on spine doublures ruled and tooled gilt with small florets and leaves again after a design by the author; French marbled end-papers; a.e. burnished gold. Fine copy. AThe third printing of the first collective edition of Rossetti’s original poems without the translations following those of 1891 and 1893 . The superb binding which is by Zaehnsdorf is signed and dated 1895 suggesting that this copy was supplied by the publisher as sheets and that this is its original dress. It reproduces as far as the outside covers are concerned though on a smaller scale Rossetti’s design for the covers of the 1870 edition of the ‘Poems’ the tooling here being more perfect than the blocking on cloth of the originals however the brasses for that having been cut badly - though to speak more truly it follows more precisely the design of the binding of the two volume Collected Works of 1886 in its original envisagement the lower of the two small panels on the sides having ten horizontal rows of circlets on the front and eleven on the back cover. The tools used on the doublures are based on elements of the end-paper design of the 1870 volume. A beautiful volume and one of only a very small issue so bound. The front binder’s blank has an ink inscription dated “Nov 20 / 1895†giving the latest limiting date for this issue. All books listed by Robert Temple are first editions unless otherwise stated. hardcover
