SPECIMENS OF THE EARLY ENGLISH POETS.

Featuring works by Henry VIII, Shakespeare, Marlow, and others, the volume is bound in contemporary brown calf with a gilt border to front and rear covers, gilt dentelles and spine lettering, and marbled endpapers. Imperceptibly rebacked, and showing a tiny chip to the leather on the fore-edge of the top board, as well as three small scratches to the spine and minor foxing to the interior. The coloring to the fore-edge painting retains its vibrancy. A.e.g. Bookplate. (Fore-Edge Painting).
