Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Flansham, Bognor Regis, Pear Tree Press, 1934. Quarto, [9] leaves (all printed rectos only with an engraving, coloured à la poupée), comprising the half-title, title page, 6 pages of verse, and the colophon. Original quarter cloth and papered boards with an engraved coloured title-la…bel on the front cover (printed from the same plate as the half-title, here coloured differently); covers lightly bumped at the extremities and slightly marked; an excellent copy. Number 25 of 100 copies. 'Script by Helen Hinkley. Design and plate printing by James Guthrie'. Guthrie, who was known for his experiments in coloured intaglio printing, has signed the final leaf. William Strode (1598-1645) was one of the five members of parliament whose attempted arrest by Charles I was a catalyst for the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642. The four poems are 'In Commendation of Musick', 'On Westwell Downes', 'A Watch sent Home to Mrs Eliz. King Wrapt in Theis Verses', and 'A Sonnet'. Signed.
