EARLY POEMS OF DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI

London: Grant Richards Ltd, (1906). A charming, diminutive volume of Rossetti's early poems, before they were altered by the author as he achieved more skill and sophistication. 24 mo. Original scarlet cloth, 83 pp., with Art Nouveau floral motifs in blind on the upper cover. Frontispiece, "The Blessed Damozel" after the painting by Rossetti. Originally published in December,1906, this is the second edition. Red cloth bindings are notorious for fading, particularly the spine. This copy of a scarce little volume is without fault, most satisfying to hold and read.
