Signed limited edition of Venus and Adonis, number 634 of 1,000 copies signed by the editor Sidney Lee. This facsimile of the first edition of 1593 is finely bound together with facsimiles of the first editions of Lucrece (1594), The Passionate Pilgrim (1599), and the Sonnets (1609). The facsimiles are taken from copies held at the Bodleian Library and the Christie Miller Library at Britwell. For each of the four works, Lee (1859-1926) provided a bibliography and "a full and learned introduction incorporating a detailed account of its publication history and a descriptive census of copies, as well as a full survey of literary sources and analogues" (ODNB). Such bindings are named in honour of the famous Regency miniaturist Richard Cosway. They were initially executed in the first decade of the 20th century by Rivière & Son for Henry Sotheran, with the miniatures by Carolin Billin Currie. The Bayntun bindery, which acquired Rivière in 1939, continued to bind books in this style until the late 20th century. 5 works bound in 1, quarto (245 x 193 mm). Later 20th-century blue crushed morocco by Bayntun-Rivière, spine lettered in gilt, gilt rose motif to compartments and framing boards, enclosing central inset hand-coloured miniature of Shakespeare under glass surrounded by gilt frame, wide turn-ins with gilt rules, roll, and corner piece, cream silk doublures and flyleaves, fore edge gilt. Housed in a blue cloth slipcase. A fine copy.

Henry Sotheran and Company, London 1870. No pagination [c. 200 pages]. Bound in the original full vellum with traces of the ties. Spine sligtly cracked. Annotations in pencil to the margins. * Exclusively printed and bound edition, only printed in 131 copies [of which this is number Eight], signed [three times] by the editor.

A Paris, chez Benoît Audran, s.d. [circa 1700]. Dimensions (à vue) : 327 x 288 mm + passe-partout + cadre. Rare et délicieuse eau-forte du temps, ainsi légendée en marge inférieure (orthographe respectée) : ''Par l?ordre de Diane aux Amours endormis, / Les Nimphes font Sentir leurs Complots ennemis, / Une Chaste fureur anime leur Courage / A se vanger sur eux de maint perfide outrage. / L?une brise les Arcs dont ils étoient armés / Et l?autre jette au feu leurs traits envenimés, / L?une enfin méprisant leurs atteintes cruelles / S?arme de longs Ciseaux et leur coupe les ailes. / C?est ainsi que la fable enseigne sans détour / Que l?on peut aisement triompher de l?amour, / Et que le Coeur humain a ses feux trop sensible / Se trompe lourdement de le croire invincibles.'' Signée dans la plaque Albanus et Audran. Présentée sous cadre. Epreuve un peu courte de marge. Quelques claires rousseurs affectent la partie légendée. Cadre présentant de nombreux éclats. Nonobstant, belle condition. Rare.
