Description:
Complete two-volume antique set of The Poetical Works of Robert Herrick, edited by George Saintsbury.
Published in London by George Bell and Sons in 1908 as part of The Aldine Edition of the British Poets.
Included:
* Volume I
* Volume II
Both volumes feature red cloth-covered boards with gilt spine lettering and the decorative Aldine bell emblem. The books contain the poetry of seventeenth-century English poet Robert Herrick, best known for Hesperides and “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time.”
This set shows significant wear from age and use but may appeal to collectors of antique books, British literature, English poetry, or decorative vintage books.
