Alfred De Rothschild’s set of the first collected edition of Samuel Rogers Poems. This set unites his ‘Poems’ and ‘Italy’, previously separately published, but here issued with general title pages to each volume, followed by separate title pages for each.
 
Two volumes. Octavo. Finely bound in full green morocco, spine in rich gilt compartments, floral sprays to covers. All edges gilt.
 
Frontispiece of portrait of Rogers to the first volume. Engravings after J.M.W. Turner and Thomas Stothard throughout.
 
A very good set indeed, some very light rubbing to the binding. Some occasional foxing throughout.
 
PROVENANCE: Alfred De Rothschild (1842-1918), with his Halton House bookplate to each front pastedown.
