Item Details

Description

Buckland Wright (John).- Swinburne (Algernon Charles) Dolores, first edition, [one of 50 copies on Japon ancien], 11 wood-engraved illustrations by John Buckland Wright, 9 full-page, some very light spotting, original blue wrappers with printed label to upper cover, uncut, spine faded, [Reid A12i], 8vo, [Maastricht, privately printed for Baron Emile van der Borch van Verwolde by A.A.M. Stols], 1933.

⁂ One of Buckland Wright's most collected works, and on which he continued to work after publication. The illustrations appear as white line engravings in this first edition but were reworked as silhouettes with additional white line hatching for the second edition. The final illustration of a female nude with three ravens refers to the coat-of-arms of Emile, Baron van der Borch van Verwolde who commissioned the book from Stols. It also served as his bookplate.
