Author: CLOUGH, ARTHUR HUGH; (ANDRE RAFFALOVICH'S COPY)
Title: Poems
Description: London, MacMillan and Co. 1883, Tenth Edition. Green Pebble-Grained Cloth. Ill.: Austin Osman Spare (bookplate). Book, xxvi, 329pp. + (2) pubs. ads. Spare's bookplate (1910) is reckoned by some his finest work in this miniature format. Covers a little soiled & front hinge partially cracked. Blind-stamp of the Poetry Society on first blank & ghost of label & slight adhesive residue on ffep. A rare opportunity to own such a fine example of Spare's work in a field of which he was an acknowledged master that was itself commissioned & owned by one of the nineties' most interesting fugitive figures comprises a fascinating association. Very Good.
