About this Item
FIRST EDITION, 72/150 COPIES printed on Van Gelder's handmade paper, in small pica roman, printer's device on final leaf, untrimmed, occasional spots, pastedown with bookplates of Rosamond Wigram and George Goyder with Welsh motto, pp. [viii], 52, [iv], near contemporary quarter vellum with blue parchment boards, spine lettered in gilt, boards with a few marks, corners rubbed, good. The edition includes twenty-four of the author's shorter poems, six of which (nos. 18-24), written around 1882, were published here for the first time. In common with the Daniel Press' Prometheus, there is a conspicuous lack of ornament, 'no doubt in each case by the author's desire' (Memorials of C.H.O. Daniel, Daniel Press, 1921). From the library of Richard Luckett, Pepys Librarian, Magdalene, Cambridge, with his neat typographical book label designed by Will Carter of the Rampant Lions Press. (Madan 10: McKay A Bibliography of Robert Bridges 8). Seller Inventory # 73095
