Poor Cecco.

Deluxe edition, number 12 of 105 copies signed by the author. Unlike many of Rackham's deluxe editions, this one was not signed by him, nor was it issued in the UK in a deluxe version. This is the rarest of all Rackham limited editions. Latimore & Haskell, pp. 59-60; Riall, p. 155. Quarto. Colour frontispiece and 6 colour plates with captioned tissue guards, black and white illustrations in the text, all by Rackham. Original vellum spine, gilt-lettered black morocco label, cornflower blue covers. Very slight toning to spine, extremities of covers slightly sunned, minor tear at head of front hinge, slight splitting to rear hinge; a near-fine copy.
