Product code: Hood's Poetical Works. Lansdowne Poets. (1880) Leather. Gilt edges. selling Illustrated. Fine Binding. Collectible Antique Poetry Book.

A very attractive collection of Robert Burns' poetry bound in full red Morrocco leather with a black blind stamped decoration to the front and back. The spine has a gilt title and five raised bands.

This is undated but as, at time of listing I have a Burns poetry collection in the same series dated 1879 I have dated this to 1880.

There is a portrait to the frontice which has a full intact tissue guard and many further intext illustrations reproduced from the first edition.

The boards are good. the corners are lightly rubbed but not bumped. As you can see in the photos there is some rubbing to the spine.

Internally, there are no marks or inscriptions to the main body. In selling addition to the ink inscription to the endpaper there is an ex libris plate to the front pastedown.

The text block is clean and bright with a very light age tone. There is some spotting to the endpapers.

The external edges are gilt which is bright and clean.

All in all a nice example.

Please check the photos for a full condition report and contact me before buying if you have any queries.
