Alred Lord Tennyson's poem La Morte De Arthur ~ Edwardian 1 st Ed 1912. Alberto Sangoursky Ilus. A beautiful coloured book of Alred Lord Tennyson's poem La Morte De Arthur dating to the Edwardian period of the 20th century circa 1912. This fabulous book is a later and highly decorative edition of Alfred Lord Tennyson's sweeping epic poem about the life and death of the Medieval King Arthur. This edition is illuminated by the famous bookbinder Alberto Sangorski. In the back we have the declaration "Here ends Morte De Arthur, a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson as designed, written out and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski, reproduced by the Graphic Engraving Company for Messrs Chatto & Windus, who publish the volume at 111 St Martins Lane London, MCMXII (1912)". The book itself is a stunning piece of artwork, with each page designed with the utmost care, the calligraphy is exquisite and the small paintings and details on each page are beautiful. A very nice book with a lot of history by one of the greatest literary power houses of the Victorian period and of the British Imperial heyday. In good condition commensurate with age. This book has lost its dust jacket so during storage the hard boards have suffered some wear and tear. The binding to the bottom left has come a bit loose and is exposed, the upper left and right hand corners have some light water staining and there are the odd marks here and there, but the internal pages have been left in very good condition where the cover has suffered.
