Rare publishers deluxe leather bindings. Reprint of the original 1886 edition, published by Ellis and Scruton. Two volumes. 8vo. (7.7 x 5.3 inches). Very good copies, the pages clean throughout and some gatherings still unopened. Finely bound, by Roger de Coverly of London, in late nineteenth century full dark blue calf in the same style as the original decorative publishers cloth binding, designed by Rossetti himself. Spines with five raised bands, the compartments lettered and decorated in gilt. Elaborate floral design to all of the boards, all in gilt. Board edges with gilt piping. Inner boards with single gilt rules lines. Original decorative floral endpapers printed in dark blue on light blue paper. Top edges gilt, the others untrimmed. Some rubbing to the spines, and a little bumping to the edges but still a very attractive pair of fine leather bindings by one of the master bookbinders of the day.
