A MIDSUMMER-NIGHT'S DREAM

First edition with these illustrations. Publisher's original beige cloth with gilt titles and illustration to the upper board and spine. Profusely illustrated with 40 tipped in colour plates, each with captioned tissue guards, and many black and white illustrations throughout. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping to the spine tips and corners, the cloth and gilt is clean and fresh with just a few light marks to the upper board. The contents, with a 1909 gift inscription in blue ink on the blank front endpaper, and some spotting to the prelims and text block edges, are otherwise clean throughout. All of the tipped in colour plates remain in fine condition, one tissue guard has a short closed tear to the fore-edge.

An attractive example of one of the most collectable and beautifully illustrated editions of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer-Night's Dream.
