The Poetical Works of Thomas Hood - second series

Undated late 19th century. In just about good condition. Green buckram with gilt and black decoration to front and spine with inlaid pictorial decoration of vase of flowers to centre front. Rubbed to edges and corners and to lower front board. Spine a little shaky and some cracking between gathers but binding remaining secure. Owners name to front end paper otherwise clean. Red borders to pages and all edges gilt. A second series of Hood's poems edited and with a critical memoir by William Rossetti. Non UK buyers please note additional shipping charges may be required. This is a second series of poems to complement the previously published Moxon's popular poets edition of Hood's Poems issued a few years previously, and designed so that the owner of both volumes would have the great majority of Hood's poems. The book has a number of full page engravings by Gustave Dore and Alfred Thompson. The maximum number of photos I can upload to Abe is 5, so there is not enough room for the list of contents, however I can provide scans of these on request.…
