About This Item
London: R Dodsley, 1753. Leather. Very Good. 15" by 10.5". R Bentley. A scarce and handsome volume of illustrations to the work of Thomas Gray, in attractive leather binding. Curiously noted as 'designs', rather than poems, the title was written such in order to emphasise to readers that the poems were previously published by Gray, and not new works. Nonetheless, the handsome illustrations, of which there are six engraved plates as well as numerous vignettes and embellishments, make for a interesting and attractive collaborative volume. In quarter-calf binding with gilt detailing and paper-covered boards. Externally smart, there is some wear to the backstrip and extremities. Internally, the pages are firmly bound but are somewhat age-toned throughout. Very Good
