[Kelmscott Press] Tennyson, Alfred Lord

Maud: A Monodrama

Hammersmith: Kelmscott Press, 1893. Hard Cover. 1 of 500 copies. This is a particularly nice copy of this beautiful Kelmscott Press work. The limp vellum binding is in very good condition with typical light smudging and handling. The fragile original ties are present. The interior is pristine, with Morris's lovely borders, ornaments, and initials. The borders were designed for this book. Printed in red and black Golden type on Flower paper. The Peterson bibliography recounts an interesting story about the book's publishing history. A customer noted typographical errors in three places. Ultimately four cancellations with corrections were issued and inserted in some copies. This copy has the typographical errors noted but does not have the cancellations. Housed in a beige cloth covered clamshell box with brown and gilt title label to spine. 69 pages. MOR/061810. Very Good.
