The second issue, published some months after the first, with the busty mermaid figurehead excised from the wrapper illustration. This copy has been handsomely re-bound in buckram with decorated paper-covered sides, and the wrapper image retained and mounted on an otherwise blank preliminary leaf. 8vo. 32pp. A scattering of fox-spotting throughout and a touch of light uneven tanning to the board margins. A nice crisp copy, handsomely rebound from the original wrappers which were notoriously fragile. Seventeen poems, published posthumously just after the author's death (a brief unaccredited preface states "The following pages contain most of the poems written during the last two years of [Flecker's] life, arranged approximately in chronological order. Several of them have appeared in periodicals; others are here printed for the first time"). Mercer 11[b] / Woolmer A8 / Reilly, pp. 128.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good.
