Bound up without the back wrapper and with the two leaves of facsimiles which should appear at the end tipped in after the front wrapper. BOUND WITH On front wrapper: No.1 2. Price One Shilling.

Wrappers very embrowned and fragile some laid down on binders’ tissue and with some chipping to edges; backs of plates variously embrowned by contact with the wrappers but on the printed surfaces not badly so; one or two marginal tears to wrappers and plates; text nice. The set The organ of the præraphaelite Brotherhood complete but in a facsimile edition dating from 1901. It is easily distinguished from the original edition by the wrappers being of poor quality wood-pulp paper rather than a thinner version of the text-paper as with the original the presence of the advertisement for the Provident Life Office on the inside back wrappers in the second number it should occur in numbers one and three the ‘Contents of the Germ No.1’ being on the inside back wrapper of number three instead of number two the etchings being on a thin card with a slightly shiny surface rather on plate paper the folding one being attached at the right hand edge rather than the central fold and the machine-made text paper being very smooth and having a glossy feel rather than being slightly rough as in the original. Literary contributors include ‘Ellen Alleyn’ i.e. Christina Rossetti John Seward Wm. B. Scott Calder Campbell F. Madox Brown Thomas Woolner Wm. M. Rossetti Walter H. Deverell Dante G. Rossetti Coventry Patmore John Orchard etc. The Preface by W.M. Rossetti was issued both with the facsimiles and separately and occurs in two variant states with slightly different versions of the title-page in one presumably the first the word ‘to- Wards’ is hyphenated with a line break; in the other it appears as one word but with the Gothic ‘w’ erroneously still a capital. One can only presume that the compositor was unfamiliar with the fount and when re-lineating failed to realise that the ‘W’ was upper case. The Preface is frequently found separately and with the first state of text and may have been issued thus as an advertisement though it is also possible that a few copies may have been made available separately for the benefit of people possessing sets of the original. W.M. Rossetti who edited the original numbers here offers a good deal of information relating to the 1850 publication including statements of print orders and sales reproductions of contemporary reviews identification of all the anonymous or pseudonymous contributions and detailed commentaries on what the issues contained. In this copy p.17 l.26 does not have a raised ‘s’ at the end which has been the case with copies of the separate issue we have seen.
