THE COLLECTED SONNETS OF JOHN KEATS

Limited edition, number 281 of 325 copies printed on Dutch Pannekoek laid paper (from a total edition of 376). Quarto. Publisher's original blue cloth with gilt vignette by John Buckland-Wright to the upper board and titles in gilt to the spine. Page edges untrimmed, with many pages unopened. Illustrated with a wood engraved portrait frontispiece and 10 further wood-engraved plates by Buckland-Wright. With the bookplate for Helge Loewenberg-Domp to the front pastedown. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little wear to the corners and spine ends, a few minor marks to the lower board and a touch of fading to the spine. The contents with a little toning to the endpapers are otherwise clean and bright throughout.

An attractive example of John Buckland-Wright's first illustrated book. (Reid A1d).
