THOMAS, William Early English Prose Romances Robert the Deuyll, Robin Hood and Fryer Bacon
Otto Schulze, 1904.
Three volumes, first edition set. 4to. Buckram spine, lettered in gilt, over paper boards. 1 of 500 copies, unnumbered. Decorative title pages printed in red and black, black and white woodcut plates, decorative borders and line drawings. A near fine set.
The style of this set of books owes much to William Morris' Kelmscott Press and the Arts and Crafts movement. The drab boards give way to hand made paper, wood engravings, Art Nouveau swirls and gothic fonts.
