    Description

    First Edition, Illustrated, Leather Binding

    The first illustrated edition of this work. This poem was Rogers' longest work, as well as being his last. It was written inspired by his 1814 journey travelling through Switzerland to Italy, on which he kept a diary of the events and his impressions of the trip. Illustrated with many engraved vignettes, two of which are full page. Written by Samuel Rogers, a Romantic English poet who is often overshadowed by his contemporaries - Byron, Wordsworth, and Coleridge. Illustrated after J. M. W. Turner and Thomas Stothard. Bookplate to the front pastedown, 'O Crux Ave Spes Unica'.

    In a full vellum binding. Externally, generally smart, with some marking and discolouration, as is usual with vellum. A little rubbing to the spine label. Bookplate to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with some spotting.
