First edition of Rossetti's first published collection of original verse large paper issue. One of only twenty-five copies printed on large handmade paper "for Private Circulation Only." Stetz and Lasner in ENGLAND IN THE 1880s note: "This book by the circumstances of its publication by its contents and by its design secured Rossetti's reputation. When his wife Elizabeth Sidal Rossetti died in February 1862 Rossetti placed the original manuscripts of his poems in her coffin. In 1869 these were exhumed secretly from her grave and published in this volume in 1870 with other more recent work. The book opens with 'The Blessed Damozel' Rossetti's most famous poem which had first appeared in the Pre-Raphaelite magazine THE GERM in 1850; among the other contents are the sonnet sequence called 'The House of Life' and a group of poems about paintings that show Rossetti's abiding interest in unifying the sister arts. . . . POEMS 1870 was perhaps most remarkable for being one of the first books to be designed throughout by an author. Over a period of nine months Rossetti supervised the printing of the proofs while painstakingly designing the covers and endsheets. The result had a great influence upon writers and designers of the 1880s. Oscar Wilde's POEMS 1881 and several of Walter Pater's books clearly were modeled upon Rossetti's unique volume."
