    Description

    Leather Binding

    Bound in a handsome full calf binding.

    New edition. 

    The first volume is illustrated with a portrait frontispiece engraving of Lord Byron. 

    A complete six-volume set 

    An elegant and complete set of Byron’s poetry, showcasing the range of one of the most influential figures of the Romantic movement, from his sweeping epics Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and Don Juan to his shorter lyrical works and satires.

    Published by Byron’s long-time publisher, John Murray, who had overseen his works and later suppressed his memoirs.

    Lord Byron (1788–1824) was a leading figure of the Romantic movement, famed for his lyrical power and turbulent life. His poetry and scandals alike made him both celebrated and condemned across Europe.

    Condition

    Bound in a full calf binding. Externally, very smart. Spines faded. The odd slight handling mark to boards, with the odd scratch. Slight rubbing and bumping to extremities resulting in slight loss to calf. The odd mark to spines, more so to spines of volumes V and VI. Slight offsetting to endpapers. Slight fading to extremities, more apparent to upper perimeter of the rear board of volume I. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean, with just one or two spots and handling marks to fore edges.

    Very Good
