Description
GOLDEN COCKEREL PRESS - JOHN BUCKLAND-WRIGHT
KEATS (JOHN) Endymion. A Poetic Romance, NUMBER 9 OF 100 SPECIALLY BOUND COPIES, signed by the artist, from an overall edition of 500, wood-engraved illustrations (some full-page) by John Buckland-Wright, light foxing on p.14, original pictorial vellum gilt by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, a gilt-blocked design of Cynthia, Goddess of the Moon after Buckland-Wright on the upper cover, t.e.g., original cloth slip-case [Cockalorum 175; Reid A47a], small folio, Golden Cockerel Press, 1947
Footnotes:
'In his 58 illustrations Buckland Wright is both as classical and as romantic as the poet could have desired. His vision, it seems to me, approaches that of Keats as closely as is possible for any artist working in our generation. While there is more than a hint of classicism in his admirable figures, their groupings and settings are romantic' (Christopher Sandford, Cockalorum).
