A delightful illustrated book, in the original publisher's cloth binding, the design for which the artist himself thought 'an extra good one...: it was at all events, very rich and elaborate.' That same year the designer's more austere brother, the poet A.E. Housman, also privately published his most famous work, A Shropshire Lad.

Designed by the art historian and writer Haldane Macfall, the bookplate is that of Annesley T[yndale] Warre, a prolific book collector and well-known collector of Chinese ceramics and hardstones. Macfall wrote two works on Aubrey Beardsley, and a well-regarded study on the Curwen Press stalwart Claud Lovet Fraser (The Book of Lovat: Claud Lovat Fraser, 1923).

First edition, first issue(?); 8vo; frontispiece, pictorial title, 5 plates and woodcut initials by Housman, 16pp. advertisements, 10-line errata loosely inserted, patterned endpapers, bookplate to front pastedown; publisher's green cloth with interweaving gilt pattern to upper cover and spine, a very good, sharp copy, uncut.
