The Consecration of the Temple and Other Poems

xiv, 224pp. Plate frontispiece with 13 further plate illustrations, tissue-guarded. Full morocco binding with gilt lettering and rules (boards rubbed and a little chipped at edges, heavily rubbed and cracked on spine joints). All edges gilded. Beautiful silk moire endpapers. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring a previous owner's inscription on bastard title page. Tissue guards loosely inserted. A poetry collection, privately printed for distribution among family and friends. Nice, evocative volume with surprisingly pleasing poetry, often inspired by daily events. Includes reflections on the landing of the Mayflower.
