Quarto. 14ff. Illustrated with ten wood engravings, which are half-page and enliven the poem stanza by stanza. In marbled-paper boards backed in faux vellum, with gilt lettering to spine. The paper covering the boards by Arno Werner reportedly does not hold up well, but is fine on this copy, which shows some toning to spine and is overall near fine. Housed in the original matching slipcase, which shows some wear at corners.
