This is a very good hardcover, no dust jacket or publishers box to accompany as originally published. Fourth Printing 1945 Thomas Crowell Publishers. This copy is very good inside and out. The pages have light natural tanning from age but are clean with no markings seen. The binding is tight and straight. the brown cloth hardcover boards are also very good, clean with only a hint of shelf wear at corners. Light fading along spine where title/author lettering appear, but title author still legible and good. Front of hardcover boards carries title and author lettering in gold w a rose design and illustrator named bottom front cover. Imperial octav size or 8.25" x 10.25" with 86 pages.

This edition of Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning has 8 tipped in color plates from Willy Pogány. Numerous line drawing also accompany the color plates. Although this copy is missing the original dust jacket and accompanying publishers box, it is nonetheless a nice collectible. The sonnets, written between 1846-1846, was written for her future husband Robert Browning. In early sonnets, Browning expresses fear and doubt about the relationship but but later they take a more passionate tone. Lovely collectible for any poetry lover.
