A Song of the English

London: Hodder & Stoughton, n.d. Robinson, W.H. Limited edition. vellum. Limited edition. Full vellum pictorial cover and spine in gilt, green and red. 30 color tipped-in plates on cream-colored boards with printed borders. Printed tissue guards. 60 illustrations in line, some full page.

This was a popular title, one of Robinson's most well-received, and went through several subsequent editions but with reduced size and number of color plates.

Boards are very slightly warped. Light spotting on right hand cover edge, very minor soiling from handling. A exceptionally handsome copy of one of Robinson's finest limited editions, with symbolic representations using women as goddesses depicting the far-flung colonies of the English empire at that time: Bombay, Singapore, Capetown, Madras, as well as celebrating British sea-going prowess and bravery. Near Fine. Item #30754
