Sobre este artículo
London: Ellis and Whit, 1876 First edition. From the library of Dorothy L. Sayers, signed by Sayers on the front free endpaper, with her marginalia to pages. Bound in 20th century brick-red cloth, with spine lettered and ruled in gilt. Near fine, with light toning to spine, a touch of dimming to gilt, light rubbing to spine ends and corners, and some very light soiling and spotting to pages. Overall, an attractive, clean copy, with a fascinating association. The Æneids of Virgil is English designer William Morris' translation of Virgil's epic Latin poem The Aeneid. A textile designer and leading figure of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Morris created original calligraphy and page ornamentations for his printing press, the Kelmscott Press. Morris' Kelmscott Press is still cited as a major source of inspiration for modern private presses. . Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine.
