London, George Allen, 1897. First Thus.First Impression. Six [6] Volumes complete. Edited by Thomas J. Wise, illustrated by Walter Crane. Perhaps Crane's greatest work, and the finest edition of Spenser's best-known work. Limited edition, one of 1000 copies. An Arts and Crafts masterpiece, with hints of early art nouveau.
Very good copy. Spines a little darkened. Cloth lightly soiled. Leaves slightly toned. Volume one: slight split to the front hinge, volume two: spine starting, front endpaper with a short tear, volume three: spine starting. A decent set. [5455, www.hyraxia.com].
