About this Item
A Completely Unexpurgated and Newly Translated Edition by Charles D. Young. Together with the Elegie, Translated by Christopher Marlowe. Beautifully illustrated by Alexander King with 18 color plates, each with intact tissue guard, and numerous vignette illustrations. Bound in three quarter black cloth with patterned paper to boards. Gilt titling and decorations to spine. Patterned endpapers, same as pattern on boards. Gilt top edge. Cloth rubbed with some discoloration, primarily to front board. Light sunning to spine with head and tail slightly bumped. Some wear to corners. Front board patterned paper faded. Spine cracked at some gatherings. Plate on p. 121 detached. Previous bookseller notes on preliminary. Good. As Young shares in the introduction, Ovid, having been married three times and divorced twice, seems to have had much experience and knowledge to impart on matters of love. He hopes that this "work thus humbly and reverently submitted to the reader is not entirely without merit, we too may say, 'Ovid was our master.'" Edition limited to 2000 numbered copies printed on Strathmore Meldon deckle edge laid paper, this copy being No. 393. King's illustrations are, in our opinion, some of the most beautiful illustrations to accompany an Ovid text. Seller Inventory # 10028
