[Charles Agvent]

SPENSER, Edmund. THE FAERIE QUEENE. DISPOSED INTO TWELVE BOOKES 
FASHIONING XII MORALL VERTUES (FAERIE QUEEN). Oxford: Limited Editions 
Club, 1953. Two large quarto volumes (7-3/4" x 11-3/4") bound in 
gilt-decorated green cloth and illustrated with pen decorations by John 
Austen and wood engravings by Agnes Miller Parker. Copy #1185 of 1500 
SIGNED by Parker on the colophon page. A nicely printed set retaining 
Spenser's original English and beautifully illustrated. The uncommon 
dustwrappers are present as is the slipcase. A lovely set of this, one 
of the underrated books of the press. Monthly Letter laid in. Small 
university bookplate on each front pastedown. The spines of the 
dustwrappers have just a touch of the sunning and none of the foxing on 
the panels usually found with this title. The slipcase is near pristine. 
Fine in close to Fine dustwrappers and a Fine slipcase. (#014490)     $400
