A fourth edition copy of William Morris' poem following mythological hero Jason, handsomely bound in full morocco by MacLehose in Glasgow.

He is still hailed as a prominent figure of the Victorian era remembered primarily for his art, although he was more renowned in his lifetime for poetry.This was Morris' third collection of poetry.A fourth edition of this work, illustrated with Morris' own woodcut to the title page.Handsomely bound in full red morocco with marbled endpapers by MacLehose. Containing a previous owner's ink signature to one of the front free-endpapers: 'Lela Porter, June 4th, 1870'. Handsomely bound in full red morocco by MacLehose. Externally, smart and bright, with rubbing to the head and tail of the spine, the joints, the raised bands and the extremities. Previous owner's ink signature to one of the front free-endpapers.
