    Description

    Leather Binding

    A lovely example of the works of Alexander Pope. In a contemporary calf binding to the time of publishing, with volume I rebacked with the boards preserved. Complete in 9 volumes. The works of the renowned poet, Alexander Pope. Pope was a extremely influential poet of the 18th century, with his most famous works including, 'The Rape of the Lock', 'An Essay on Man', as well as his translation of Homer's 'The Odyssey'. With the ink inscription of J. Houghton to the front end paper of each volume. Notably there is a slip tipped-into the front pastedown of volume I. It reads 'To George de Horne Vaizey, in memory of Mrs. Wood who died at the Hampton Hall. 28. March 1880. From F. E. Schulhof and M. F. Vaizey'. This appears to be the husband of the notes author Jessie Bell who wrote under the name Mrs George de Horne Vaizey.
