Sebastian Hau

A beautiful 1865 edition of Lord Byron’s The Prisoner of Chillon, one of the most enduring Romantic poems, inspired by the plight of François Bonivard and composed during Byron’s travels in Switzerland. This work, rich in lyricism and historical resonance, exemplifies Byron’s mastery of narrative poetry and his profound sympathy for liberty and human endurance. This book is in good condition overall, complete with all pages present. The covers show some wear, mainly spine. Each page displays small, unobtrusive wear at the back, yet the text remains clean, bright, and entirely legible throughout. A well-preserved example that combines historical charm with literary significance.

An exquisite piece for collectors of Romantic poetry and 19th-century literature, offering both aesthetic appeal and timeless content.
