Shelley's Poetical Works Percy Bysshe Shelley W M Rossetti Antique Illustrated HC

The Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, edited by William Michael Rossetti, is a beautiful Victorian edition from the celebrated Moxon's Popular Poets series, published by Ward, Lock & Co., London. Bound in decorative green cloth with striking gilt decoration and all gilt page edges, this is both a classic work of English literature and an impressive example of late Victorian book design.

William Michael Rossetti, brother of Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was one of the foremost literary editors of the Victorian era. His critical memoir introduces Shelley's life and work, while the volume is enhanced by numerous illustrations by the Society of Decorative Art. Dating from the late nineteenth century (circa 1880s–1890s), this edition was produced as an elegant gift book and remains highly sought after by collectors of Victorian literature and decorative bindings.

An attractive addition to any collection of classic poetry, Victorian books, fine bindings or nineteenth-century literature, this edition is equally at home in a collector's library or displayed as a decorative antique volume.
