Description from the seller

The Romaunt of the Rose Rendered out of the French into English by Geoffrey Chaucer.
Geoffrey Chaucer. Illustrated by Keith Henderson and Norman Wilkinson

Description
Illustrated by Keith Henderson and Norman Wilkinson
Hardback published by Chatto & Windus, London in 1911. Reprint of 1908 original.
108 pages, 18cm x 25cm with the publisher’s rough-cut edges main and bottom and the top edges gilt. Laid-in and captioned tissue-guards to the 20 full-page colour plates. Attractive bookplate to inner board. Tiny amount of foxing. 3 pages damp-stained at edges – the worst of which is shown here. All other pages clean and dry. The grey cloth cover is rather grubby and lightly stained, but acceptable. This is a striking example of an Edwardian gift-book.
