What Our Customers Say...

Description

Illustrated, Leather Binding

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 in-text engravings. Written by Samuel Rogers, a Romantic English poet who is often overshadowed by his contemporaries - Byron, Wordsworth, and Coleridge. Prior owner's ink inscription to the recto to the front free endpaper, 'Emma Clapham with her Uncle John's Love, June 1848'.

Condition

In a full calf binding. Externally, generally smart, with rubbing and marks to the boards and spine. Small crack to the head of the front joint. Prior owner's ink inscription to the recto to the front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with only a couple of light spots.
