Christina Rossetti Poems
Blackie, 1910.
First edition illustrated by Florence Harrison. 4to. Full white buckram with gilt titles and art nouveau design in gilt to spine and covers. Top edge gilt and others untrimmed. In the very rare original pictorial dustwrapper. Pictorial endpapers, thirty six mounted colour plates and numerous black and white drawings by Harrison. This book is a sumptuous production with the Art Nouveau/ Pre Raphaelite style illustrations ideally matching Rossetti's poetry. A near fine, bright copy in a very good pictorial dustwrapper, which has some tears strengthened with archival paper tape.
A large selection of the artist's poems, including: Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress and Dreamland as well as with a section of "Devotional Poems". The illustrations have a mixture of influences, the Pre-Raphaelite period is represented by the use of warm rich colours and the Art Nouveau style is evident in the stylised line drawings.
