THE BALLAD OF BEAU BROCADE And Other Poems of the XVIII Century.

First edition, first printing. Original burgundy titles and elaborate decorations in gilt to the spine and upper board. Top edge gilt. Illustrated throughout in black and white by Hugh Thomson. A very good copy, the binding firm, the spine with a slight lean. The contents, with offsetting to the endpapers and some foxing primarily early and late, are otherwise clean and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions.

A beautifully illustrated collection of poems by the English author and essayist Austin Dobson (1840-1921).
