London: [R. Folkard and Son, for] Elkin Mathews and John Lane, 1893. First Edition of Gray's First Book, Number 83 of 250 copies on Van Gelder paper bound in cloth (of an entire edition of 275). 1 vols. Slender 8vo. Publisher's green cloth elaborately gilt, with an all-over pattern in gilt of wavy lines strewn with leaves and interrupted only by a tiny panel in the upper left corner for the title, designed by Charles Ricketts with his monogram "CR" in lower left and Leighton's monogram "HLs" in the lower right. Laid endpapers, top edges trimmed and plain, other edges untrimmed. Wear to spine ends and corners. Bookplate of the Merrymount Press. First Edition of Gray's First Book, Number 83 of 250 copies on Van Gelder paper bound in cloth (of an entire edition of 275). 1 vols. Slender 8vo. Calloway calls this binding "the most inventive of Ricketts' books to date and, in its distinguished effect produced with such economy of means, his most sophisticated. The tall, narrow format was based on the Persian 'saddle-book,' reflecting both the 'exquisite' quality of the poetry and the more practical consideration that a favourite book of poems should be easy to carry in the pocket. The text was set throughout in italic type with simple initials for which, in Ricketts' words, 'the model . . . was one of those rare Aldus italic volumes with its margins uncut.' The total effect is one of elegant proportion and lightness, perfectly recalling the Venetian original.". Harvard/Wick, "The Turn of a Century" 8; Lasner, "The English 'Nineties" [8-9]; Ricketts,m "Defence of the Revival of Printing" 20-21; Calloway, "Charles Ricketts" pp. 16 & 42
