Sobre este artículo
The Works of Abraham Cowley, Printed and Published by Jacob Tonson, 1707-08, 3 Volumes with 33 beautifully engraved plates, including one folding linen-backed plate. Volume 2 has 2 pages of advertising at the rear. The text is trimmed by the book binder (not affecting text) with occaisonal light browning and spotting. Volume 3, M2 has a marginal repair and boards are loose on Volume 1 and Volume 3 has upper joint split. Cloth Slip-case, a little rubbed at the extremities but the binding is superb and certainly worthy of repair. Gold leaf edges with gold leaf filigree and wonderful Red Moroccan leather. Binder is unknown but certainly is of the quality of a Riviere binding, placing the rebinding of the book in the 1800's. The bookplate is the initials 'D D' entwined with one another and the words. Quis Separatbit and the date 1783, making this owner a standing member of the Order of Saint Patrick founded by George III in 1783, specifically for the Irish aristocracy, who in many cases supported the Catholic Irish rights, some of course did not. This work is very nice with many wonderful poems, plays and writings as well as many notables living during Cowley's time. A rare and beautiful set.
