- Lot Description
This book is titled The Springtide Of Life, Poems Of Childhood by Algernon Charles Swinburne, illustrated by Arthur Rackham, and published in London by William Heinemann and in the U.S. by Lippincott in 1918.
Swinburne (1837 - 1909) was an English poet, playwright, and novelist whose plays are all tragedies, and he wrote about many taboo topics, including sado-masochism and anti-theism, with themes that focused on the ocean, time, and death, and Rackham (1867 - 1939) was one of the leading artists during the Golden Age of British book illustration.
The book has gilt lettering on the spine and front cover, decorated endpapers featuring a cherub with garlands of roses, then the half-title, a list of Rackham’s books published by Heinemann, a colored frontis by Rackham with a captioned tissue guard, the title page, the copyright page dated 1918, a two-page Preface by Edmund Gosse, a two-page list of Contents (vii - viiii), followed by a List of Plates on page ix, 133 pages of text, and the book was printed at The Complete Press in West Norwood, London, according to an endpaper near the rear. There are eight plates altogether, including the frontispiece, and all the plates and tissue guards are present. Unfortunately it is not signed.
The book measures 10 x 7 5/8 inches wide and is in great condition. It is clean and tight, with light bumps at the heel and crown, faint creases in the top right corner of the pages, light offset on the back of the plate on page 84, but it doesn’t affect the plate on the other side, and a very attractive copy of this Swinburne title illustrated by Arthur Rackham.
Size: 10 x 7 5/8 in.
