Octavo. 40pp. The book opens with an decorative title page after the fashion of Morris, then follow three reproductions from Morris' illuminated manuscript Aeneid, one of Edward Burne-Jones's first miniature of Venus and Aeneas and the others as a double-page spread midway through the text. Cox Brinton's treatise offers a bibliographic narrative for the creation of the manuscript, discussing not only Morris but also the book's other important contributors in Edward Burne-Jones, Fairfax Murray, Graily Hewitt, and Louise Powell. Mrs. Doheny owned the manuscript as well, and timed the publication of the present commemorative volume with a centenary exhibition of Morris' work, among which was the Aeneid manuscript, at the Huntington Library in 1934. Bound in parchment-backed boards, with title printed in red on spine and upper cover. Slight soiling to exterior, else near fine. Housed in slipcase. Bookplate of Doheny, which has offset to front flyleaf, and tipped-in is a card with her compliments.
