Fine unread condition elaborately decorated multi-colored front boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition red slipcase. Includes Introduction by Angela Thirlwell; Editor's Note; Epilogue; List of Illustrations; Sources and Index. Profusely illustrated with full color paintings, black-and-white paintings, black-and-white photographs and black-and-white drawings. "William Michael Rossetti's experience of the Pre-Raphaelites and their world appeared in several different forms at different times of his life. For this personal history I have drawn mainly on his Some Reminiscences, published in 1906 when he was seventy-seven, into which I have dovetailed passages from his Memoir of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, published in 1895. The section entitled 'The PRB Journal' is taken from the diary that William Rossetti kept on behalf of the brotherhood from 1849 to 1853, and 'Dante Rossetti and Elizabeth Siddal' makes generous use of an article he contributed to the Burlington Magazine in 1903. Rather than interpret the flow of the narrative unduly, I have chosen not to indicate individual sources and excisions within the text. A list of the source material may be found on page 227." - from preliminary page entitled Editor's Note.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
