Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. One of 350 copies. Quarto. xi, (i), 268pp. Five full-page color illustrations by Savage. Ashbee sets up the text as an archival project, drawn from various papers relating to a family and their Peckover home at Abbotscourt; this framing is ultimately a literary device, adding a sense of historica…l scale and veracity to Ashbee's tale of eastward travel, the Crusades, and the West's orientalist sense of the East. Bound in quarter vellum with patterned papers over boards. Mild rubs to corners, trace soiling, else a near fine copy.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Octavo. 24pp. One of 125 copies, printed entirely on vellum. The second book of the "Great Poems" series, this title is illustrated with an opening full-page, hand-colored wood engraving by Reginald Savage, and it is illuminated in colors and rubricated by an anonymous hand. Savage, according to Alan…Crawford, was "the most characteristic illustrator of the.Press.[H]e belonged to the circle of Ricketts and Shannon, Sturge Moore and Pissarro.Savage had a strong feeling for the medium of wood engraving and cut some of his blocks for the Essex House Press himself; the result was illustrations which have some of the Pre-Raphaelite intensity with a coarser, more primitive line, such as Arts and Crafts people liked." Spine gilt slightly rubbed, few small spots to upper cover; overall a fine copy in full blind-stamped vellum, with the rose logo and the motto of the series, "Soul is Form." One of 125 copies, printed entirely on vellum.
