[Rossetti, Christina- With Very Rare Original State WIth Uncorrected Publisher's Edits on Page 71] The Prince's Progress

London: Macmillan, 1866.

First edition. FIRST EDITION, three-quarter brown crushed morocco, marbled boards. With uncorrected publisher's edits on page 71. After discovering various errors at a late date, Rossetti petitioned Macmillan to make some corrections. They declined to make corrections in the type, however curiously assented to make corrections in pen, and even erase commas or punctuation. In this copy, on page 71, line 9, "coil," has a period (vs. usually erased) as well as in line 10, the word "thickest" is followed by comma (versus changing to colon).

Price: $1,200.00   Item #3966
