Availability: 1 in stock
SKU: 039036
£0.00

Undated but circa 1900.  68pp, with page decorations and borders on every leaf.  Colour illustrated endpapers, bordered in gilt.  Light card covers with yapped edges, illustrated.  32mo.  Covers a little worn and faded, scuffed at spine ends and bumped all round protruding yapped edges.  Text block edges lightly toned and pages a little creamy. Front hinge/backstrip partially cracked.  

A sweet, pocket-sized selection of some of Percy Bysshe Shelley's best-loved poetry with unexpectedly richly illustrated endpapers.  The publisher, J Hewelson & Son, based in Hampstead, London, seems little recorded, although they did publish some other similar volumes of poetry (perhaps also in Ye Booklover's Biblot series) including a volume of D G Rossetti's.
