La Vita Nuova / The New Life – Dante Alighieri / Gabriel Rossetti (translator) / Evelyn Paul (illustrations) / Alfred Mercer (music)
[London]: George Harrap & Co, undated [ca. 1916]. 161 pages. 24cm x 18.5 cm. Soft cover in full brown suede binding with blind stamped and gilt decorated cover, gilt decorated spine, gilt top edge, and printed endpapers. Fine press edition of Dante’s poem La Vita Nuova, printed at the Camperfield Presse. Beautifully illustrated throughout with golden brown in-text illustrations and decorations and full-colour plates, some of them tipped-in.
Rubbing, bumping, wear, and some soiling to the suede cover. The spine is fraying a bit at the top. Pencil markings on the half title and title page as well as on the colophon page in the back. Book seller’s sticker on the back pastedown endpapers. Browning and spotting throughout, mostly in the front and back pages. The back pastedown endpaper is loose on the lower outer corner. The text is clear, the illustrations are vibrant, and the binding is solid. Overall, a copy in good condition.
