About this Item
First Evelyn Paul edition, number 81 of 150 copies signed by the illustrator, printed on japon, and bound in vellum. This beautiful production presents Rossetti's translation of his namesake Dante's immortal sonnet sequence, with illustrations by Evelyn Paul (1883-1963), who was heavily influenced by Rossetti as an artist. This copy is from the British issue, distributed by George G. Harrap; the US issue was published simultaneously by Brentano's. The two issues are apparently identical other than their imprints on the title page. Quarto. Original vellum, spine and front cover lettered and decorated in gilt, red, blue, and grey, illustrated endpapers, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. With 16 colour plates heightened with gilt, vignettes in text, all by Evelyn Paul. Front board slightly bowed, contents bright and crisp, a near-fine copy. Seller Inventory # 164232
