1821 Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice An Historical Tragedy In Five Acts With Notes The Prophecy of Dante, A Poem
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon
Particularly scarce in the publisher's original drab boards.
Comprising the play 'Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice' and the poem 'The Prophecy of Dante' as called for.
Collated, complete.
This is the First edition, second issue of this work. Known as Randolph's scarcer Variant A of this issue. With Doge's speech to page 151 forming 11 lines, and page 101 being misnumbered 110 (Randolph, p.73; Wise II.30.).
Byron gained inspiration for this work whilst examining the portraits of the Doges in Venice and discovering that Faliero's portrait had been blacked out. This play therefore tells the tale of Faliero's fall from power and eventual execution.
A very smart first edition copy of this work, with a custom slipcase.
Condition
In the publisher's original boards. Externally, generally smart. Minor soiling to the spine affecting the spine label. Minor rubbing to the head and tail of spine as well as the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Occasional light spots to pages.
Very Good Indeed
