Finely bound by Zaehnsdorf (stamp-signed to verso of FFEP) in contemporary gilt- decorated green morocco, A.E.G., marbled endpapers, gilt dentelles.

A Coleridge family copy, sumptuously bound by Zaehnsdorf, of English poet and editor Thomas Hood's (1799-1845) collected poems, first issued posthumously in 1847. Known for his humorous commentary on contemporary issues, Moxon's collections of Hood's verse were a wild success - as demonstrated by this twenty-second edition, over two decades later.
