Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Mark of ownership. Ex-libris op schutblad. Foxing. Frontispiece en titelvignet. English This volume VI from the A. & C. Black Turner-illustrated edition of The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott, Bart. carries particular biographical resonance, pairing Scott?s poetry with views closely tied to his own life and literary inspiration. The frontispiece presents Loch Coriskin (now commonly spelled Loch Coruisk) on the Isle of Skye, engraved by Henry Le Keux after Turner?s dramatic Highland composition. The title-page vignette shows Abbotsford, Scott?s own home, creating a direct visual link between poet and place. These plates, originally prepared in the 1830s for the Cadell edition, were among the most admired in the series for their blend of topographical accuracy and romantic atmosphere.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Mark of ownership. Ex-libris op schutblad. Foxing. Frontispiece en titelvignet. English This is a mid-19th-century A. & C. Black (Edinburgh) multi-volume edition of The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott, Bart., illustrated with steel engravings after watercolours by J. M. W. Turner. The series forms part of the long publishing tradition associated with Scott?s works after his death, inspired in part by the activities of the Abbotsford Club?founded in the 1830s to honour Scott?s literary legacy and preserve historical texts connected with his Abbotsford estate. Each volume in this edition contains two principal illustrations: a full-page steel-engraved frontispiece and a title-page vignette, both engraved by leading 19th-century craftsmen. In the case of The Lady of the Lake (Volume III), the frontispiece depicts Loch Katrine, and the title vignette shows Loch Achray, both engraved by William Miller after Turner?s celebrated landscape designs. Turner?s series of Scottish views, originally commissioned in the 1830s for earlier Cadell editions, became iconic visual companions to Scott?s romantic poetry and were reused in later A. & C. Black printings such as this one.…

2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, with thin strip from stub adhering to edge of second leaf. The page is headed 'Private & Confidential', and the poem is preceded by the following note: 'I must send you the verses on the Battle of the Sunflower on "The Batsford Nondescript". A twenty-four line poem, in six four-line stanzas, on the theme of a disagreement over the naming of a specimen, between the botanist Anthony Hurt Wolley-Dod (1861-1948) and the director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer (1843-1928). Penultimate stanza headed 'Wolley Dod loquitur', and last one headed 'A week later - the same loquitur'. The poem begins: 'Quoth Wolley Dod, "Dear me! how odd! | Why here's the identical flower, | Which I sent to Kew, to be named by you, | A thing quite out of your power. | It was this - it was that - and I'll eat my hat | If ever I knew such a joke, | When at last you came to give it a name | 'Twas Jerusalem Artichoke!" | Says Thiselton Dyer, "To call you a liar | Is a thing I'd scorn to do, | But my meaning is plain, if you say that again | You'll be saying what is not true!"' Redesdale's entry in the Oxford Dictionary of Biography emphasises his 'cosmopolitanism' and 'dandy's charm', and the fact that he was 'busy with translations, addresses, and pamphlets to such an extent that he seemed, after the age of sixty-five, to have turned from an amateur into a professional man of letters'.…
