A very RARE and beautiful edition in original highly decorated binding of ‘The Myths Of Greece And Rome Their Stories, Signification And Origin’. This generously illustrated book of classical myths has become a classic itself, long prized for its simple, graphic, accurate retelling of the principal myths of Greece and Rome, and for its commentary on their origins and significance. The myths, as H. A. Guerber observes in her preface, "have inspired so much of the best thought in English literature that a knowledge of them is often essential to the understanding of what we read. Special edition of this lovely decorative volume. Profusely illustrated with frontispiece, and 63 full-page plates from famous pictures and statues taken from famous artists, including Lord Leighton, G. F. Watts, B. Picart, Michaelangelo and Edward Burne-Jones Published by George G. Harrap & Company, London, 1909 edition. Publisher’s original green cloth boards, decorated and lettered in gilt on the upper board and spine. Top page edge gilt. Binding bright in very good condition, some shelfwear, light wear around edges and corners . Inside very good, no stains, very clean!!!! Illustrations complete and in very good condition.
