English, Scottish and Welsh Landscape 1700 - c. 1860 (New Excursions into English Poetry)

viii, 128pp. With original colour lithograph illustrations by John Piper. Illustrated cloth boards (a little worn, rounded at corners and spine ends). Previous owner's inscription on front free endpaper, else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. A collection of poetry which describes and pays tribute to rural scenes, often from lesser known poets. An evocative, vintage volume. New Excursions into English Poetry was an experimental series of poetry, demanding original work from both the anthologer and the artist, who worked closely in collaboration to give literal and pictorial illustrations of the actual poems.
