Beschreibung

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original burgundy cloth with titles in gilt to the upper board. Top edge gilt, the others untrimmed. Folding frontispiece facsimile manuscript. The author and Shelley-expert William St. Clair's copy with his signature in pencil to the front free endpaper and a couple of notes in his hand to the rear pastedown. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some marking to the boards, fading to the spine and bumping to the corners. The contents with a contemporary previous owner's inscription in ink to the front free endpaper, a vertical crease to the folding frontispiece and the occasional spot of light foxing are otherwise in very good order and clean throughout. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 21448
