With an introduction by Alice Meynell. Sumptuous illustrations by Harrison, one of the late Pre-Raphaelite illustrators who became a regular illustrator for Blackies, the famous Glasgow publisher. This volume of Rossetti's poetry required 24 color and 48 bw illustrations, but Harrison submitted the ones herein, and the book was published. Rossetti's descriptive and imaginative poetry and Harrison's illustrations are highly complementary. A spectacular book to read and behold.
