ROUSE, R. W. A., illus. Thomas GRAY.
Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.

Extra-illustrated with large sepia-toned photo of Stoke Poges churchyard in Buckinghamshire, crudely mounted on front free endpaper. This is a nice visualisation of the poem's subject matter, and effectively captures its essence of its conceptualisation/realisation: 'Now fades the glimm'ring landscape on the sight,/ And all the air a solemn stillness holds'.

Art Nouveau bookplate of John Aldred dated 1900 on front pastedown.

Loose frontispiece, cloth slightly marked. Internally clean. Very good copy.
