1908 More Monarchs of Merry England (Henry VII to Edward VII)
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
In this very scarce first edition, Carse relays the history of the monarchy, from Henry VII to Edward VII, in rhyming couplets. Undated; dated 1908 via Jisc.
Illustrated with twenty full colour plates, and with numerous further vignette illustrations. Collated, complete.
These illustrations are the work of English cartoonist, illustrator and artist William Heath Robinson, best known for his drawings of elaborate and whimsical machinery.
A continuation of Carse and Heath Robinson's 'Merry Monarchs of England', first published in four volumes the year prior.
An excellent copy of this very scarce first edition, subtitled 'humorous rhymes of historical times'.
Condition
In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Bumping to spine head and tail, with a touch of fading to back strip. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright, with only the odd handling mark.
Very Good Indeed
