Octavo. 24pp. One of 125 copies, printed entirely on vellum. The second book of the "Great Poems" series, this title is illustrated with an opening full-page, hand-colored wood engraving by Reginald Savage, and it is illuminated in colors and rubricated by an anonymous hand. Savage, according to Alan Crawford, was "the most characteristic illustrator of the...Press...[H]e belonged to the circle of Ricketts and Shannon, Sturge Moore and Pissarro...Savage had a strong feeling for the medium of wood engraving and cut some of his blocks for the Essex House Press himself; the result was illustrations which have some of the Pre-Raphaelite intensity with a coarser, more primitive line, such as Arts and Crafts people liked." Spine gilt slightly rubbed, few small spots to upper cover; overall a fine copy in full blind-stamped vellum, with the rose logo and the motto of the series, "Soul is Form."
