Printing Details
Undated, c1880. Hardback, full leather decorated in gilt with Emmanuel College, Cambridge crest to both boards. Inner gilt dentelles, all edges gilt. 19.5 × 14cm, xv + 613pp.
A nice selection of Shelley's poems, illustrated with a steel engraving and full page engravings. The book is prefaced by a six page memoir of Shelley.
Condition
An attractive copy but the leather is rubbed to the joints and spine ends and there is quite heavy foxing to the prelims and title page, and then scattered foxing (again sometimes fairly heavy) throughout the book but this is mostly to the margins. It remains in strong readable condition. Emmanuel College prize label to front pastedown.
