Published by Julian Hartnoll, 1988.

This is a limited edition of 1,000 copies and is now highly sought-after as the authorative work on the engravings after Burne-Jones. Consisting of 20 single-page prints, each one annotated in depth by an academic authority on Burne-Jones. The catalogue gives historical depth to the provenance of each print and is supplemented by Bibliographical Notes, A Note on Techniques and A Note of States. Included in the print series is:

- The Legend of the Briar Rose (The Briar Wood, The Council Chamber, The Garden Court, The Rose Bower)

-The Hesperides

-The Mirror of Venus

-Spring

-Pan and Psyche

-Love among the Ruins

and others.

This book is exceptionally well-produced and the illustrations are wonderful. I cannot overstate both the quality of the illustrations and the sheer pleasure to be had from a book printed to such high standards. It is in new condition and comes in the original onion-skin wrappers.

Price: £17.00
