Item Details
Description
Golden Cockerel Press.- Keats (John) Endymion, one of 500 copies, 58 wood-engraved illustrations by John Buckland Wright, some full-page, foxing to a few leaves as often, very faint portions of toning to endpapers, original vellum-backed cloth, gilt, by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, with Cynthia Goddess of the Moon by Buckland Wright in gilt to upper cover, t.e.g., others uncut, a couple tiny marks to lower cover, still excellent, [Cockalorum 175], small folio, Golden Cockerel Press, 1947.*** Buckland Wright took over four years to produce this work and considered it to be his greatest achievement. "In his 58 illustrations Buckland Wright is both as classical and as romantic as the poet could have desired. His vision, it seems to me, approaches that of Keats as closely as is possible for any artist working in our generation. While there is more than a hint of classicism in his admirable figures, their groupings and settings are romantic" Christopher Sandford in Cockalorum.
