New York: np, 1903. First Edition. nb. Very Good. EXCEEDINGLY RARE SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH OF YEATS BY ALICE BOUGHTON. ONE OF THE EARLIEST KNOWN SIGNED YEATS PHOTOS. A rare bust portrait of Yeats as a young man, signed and inscribed by Yeats to U.S. politician and later U.S. secretary of state Bainbridge Colby: "To Mr. Bainbridge Colby with kind regards from WB Yeats March 1904."

3 vols. London: Quaritch, 1893. 3 vols., large 8vo, profusely illustrated. Original green cloth richly stamped in gilt, custom slipcases, the finest conceivable copy. First edition of one of the most influential works on Blake. “The enthusiasm and comprehensiveness of this work are of considerable historical importance” (Bentley 369, who cautions that the scholarly value of the work is at best uneven). The book is also treasured by devotees of gilt-stamped bindings, of which this is a striking example.
