And Other Poems
Tennyson's Guinevere And Other Poems
Blackie & Son, 1912.
First edition, deluxe binding. 4to. White cloth with gilt decoration and lettering in art nouveau style. Top edge gilt. Pictorial endpapers. Twenty-four tipped in colour plates mounted onto grey art paper, under captioned tissue guards. Many black and white drawings. A near fine copy. Cloth is bright and fresh, with just a hint of dustiness. Plates are bright and clean, tiny corner turn to plate at p84. A simply glorious book of poetry.
Florence Harrison's Pre-Raphaelite style illustrations beautifully complement Tennyson's poetry, with rich colours and beauteous maidens with flowing locks. Many of the poems are Arthurian including, the eponymous "Guinevere," "Sir Galahad" and "The Morte D'Arthur"
