The Poetical Works of Thomas Hood. Reprinted from the early editions, with memoir, explanatory notes, &c.

London:: Frederick Warne, [n.d.].. Small 8vo. xxiii, [1], 534 pp. Frontispiece portrait, plates. Original full dark red morocco with blind-stamping in black, gilt-spine title, all edges gilt, inner dentelles gilt, marbled endleaves; front joint rebacked with original spine neatly preserved (almost seamless!). Very good. [C330/061] With a handsome fore-edge painting by Don Noble (not signed), showing the two figures Pike fishing. As is typical with Don Noble's palette, he employs lots of sun-shiny colors: yellow, reds, orange, etc., giving a signature look to his paintings (making them rather easy to identify). Clearly written in a different hand: "With fore-edge painting "Pike Fishing." Fore-edge origin: Harrington's (London) [ca. 1990-2010]. Pencil notes: 10 lines of penciled notes from the bookseller, including: JVOP(A) Fore-edge L.LP/P/SOP/TLK (fine fore-[edge] painting of "Pike Fishing. "). (Inventory #: TK0197)
