Description
Sacrificing treasured family heirlooms. This rare, leather-bound, three-volume set of the poetical works of John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron has been in my family for three generations. Handed down lovingly within the family over the last hundred years or so, the books have some wear to bindings, as a result of storage, though content is complete. Detached but present front and back covers in the case of the Keats and Byron volumes and a detached front cover and partially detached rear cover in the case of the Shelley volume. Some damage to end binding consistent with age. This can be restored by a conservator if desired. All three volumes include full-page etchings of the authors. All stamped in very small, (1/8" height) dark print on front marbled flyleaf with name of former owner. Books measure 7" in height by 4 3/4" in width. John Keats's Poems , Copyright 1895.
