The Eve of St. Agnes. by KEATS, John

London: Samson Low, 1859. Full Morocco, 8 inches tall. A remarkable Victorian embossed binding with raised bands, blind centre tools and pallets to the spine and complex blind embossed tooling around a much decorated gilt title to the boards. All edges gilt. 20 engraved illustrations by Wehnert. Ink inscription to the second blank 'Miss M. Hogoboom Sharon'. There has been some near invisible expert restoration to the tooling on the upper board, overall a splendid copy.
