London: Lawrence and Bullen, 1891.. Large octavo. Original publisher's vellum over boards, lettered in red and black. Head- and tail- pieces after engravings by Linton. Title-vignette. Attractive bookplate (and remains of another) on front pastedown, vellum slightly bowed and smudged, but a very good or better copy. First British edition, limited issue. One of thirty-five numbered copies on Japon vellum, specially bound, from a total edition of 330. Linton is credited on the half-title as editor and illustrator, but he of course was the composer of the poems as well. Scarce in this issue. NCBEL III:533.

1862. 1862 Jaffray, James GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATIONS OF WARWICKSHIRE Birmingham: Thomas Underwood, 1862 pp[viii], 119pp frontispiece engraving, 31 engraved plates, 13 vignettes 4to Contemporary green half calf/marbled paper boards, edges of textblock marbled Backstrip panelled in gilt Neatly rebacked in green leather, original backstrip laid back down, new stamped leather spine label foxing throughout text and on tissue guards 6 of the plates have moderate to heavy foxing with the remaining plates with little or no foxing at all Moderate rubbing on covers, edges of boards, internally near fine, overall a nice leatherbound hardcover copy.

London: Etchells & Macdonald, 1926.. Quarto. Cream linen spine and orange cloth over boards, stamped in gilt. Faint dust soiling to spine, trace of normal offsetting to endsheet gutters, otherwise a fine copy in lightly worn slipcase. First edition. Introduction and captions to the illustrations by Bernard Windeler. Illustrated with twenty-three original copper engravings by Wadsworth, printed from the plates, both full-page and vignette, and some delicately handcolored. One of four hundred and fifty copies. Wadsworth was, of course, one of the original signators to the Vorticist manifesto and regrettably that tradition shows through only occasionally and briefly in these draftsman-like renderings. Of particular interest to this cataloguer is the probability that the author of the captions is the same B.C. Windeler whose ELIMUS, with illustrations by Dorothy Shakespear, was published in Pound's INQUEST series three years earlier.
