    Description

    Pleasing Copy

    Finely bound in a full morocco binding with gilt detailing. 

    A beautifully produced edition of Samuel Rogers’s celebrated verse, bringing together his two major works, Italy, A Poem and Poems, in their illustrated form. 

    Italy, first published in parts between 1822 and 1834, reflects Rogers’s cultured Grand Tour impressions and refined sensibility, while Poems gathers his earlier and most admired pieces, including “The Pleasures of Memory.”

    Samuel Rogers (1763 – 1855) was an English poet, during his lifetime one of the most celebrated, although his fame has long since been eclipsed by his Romantic colleagues and friends Wordsworth, Coleridge and Byron.

    Both copies illustrated with engravings throughout the text.
