[Paton, J. Noel] Poems by a Painter

Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, 1861.

First edition. Original fine ribbed white cloth with gilt decorative design of palette and xylophone, gilt ruled borders on front cover, gilt spine. Beveled boards, violet endpapers. In the Pre-Raphaelite circle, Paton only produced two volumes of verse and this one is his finest, 'evincing the concern with reciprocal effects of poetry and art that so marked a degree and characteristic of Pre-Raphaelitism" (Fredeman). Slightly soiled and brown-toning to cover and spine, else very good copy.
