Gareth and Lynette etc..
London: Strahan & Co., 1872. Full morocco, 6 3/4 inches tall. First edition. A beautiful little binding with gilt raised bands, contrasting label and delicate floral gilt tooling to the panels. The boards are very finely tooled creating an elaborate gilt panel with red calf onlays. Gilt dentelles and all edges. Foxing to the reverse of the free endpapers and first blank then perfectly clean. This volume contains 2 of Tennyson's great Idylls ,'Gareth and Lynette,' follows the coming of Arthur, and the other title in this volume, 'The Last Tournament', immediately precedes 'Guinevere'. A delightful volume.
