Description: 1885 ROS ROSARUM EX HORTO POETARUM (Roses From the Gardens of the Poets) By Eleanor Vere Boyle - *Scarce 1st Edition* ***Non-leather nor fine binding 1st edition copies of this title sell for as high as $275-300 on rare book websites.*** Published in 1885 by Elliot Stock in London in 3/4 luxurious refined blue pebble leather over finely woven blue cloth using a high-quality stock paper from a high-end printing company. A five-ribbed spine with vibrant gilded text, trim lines and rose decorations. Gorgeous marbled endpapers, top edge gilded. This beautiful illustrated book is a compendium of hundreds of years of poetry, including from Bible passages and many famous poets like Tennyson and Milton, where roses are a key theme. This would have been quite the expensive book in the Victorian era! Condition: Front board is detached. One front blank page is missing. Normal rubbing and shelf wear commensurate with age (rubbing to ribs, edges, corners, etc). Gilding is vibrant. Colors are bold and unfaded. A few spots of soiling. Text block remains tight, fixed endpapers, a few light pencil marks. No ex libris marks or stamps. Please see pictures as they are an important part of the description and condition information.
