Virgil.
Bucolica.
An English version of the Eclogues of Virgil.
By Samuel Palmer. With illustrations by the author.
London,
Seeley & Company,
1883.
xv, 102 p.
14 plates.
33 cm.
But for the 1883 date of publication, this copy corresponds to the 2d (small paper) edition which was published in 1884 with lettering on the plates.
Title in red and black.
Editor's preface signed: A. H. Palmer.
Of the etchings which illustrate each eclogue, only one was fully etched by the translator; the others, left in an incomplete state at his death, were finished by his son (the editor of this work) with the aid of "a series of touched proofs with memoranda intended by him for his own use in completing the etchings."--Cf. Preface.
"[The translator] did not claim for this work any merit as a literal or even as a free translation. I have called it a 'paraphrase', but perhaps more correctly, it has been compared in musical phrase to "a meditation upon Virgil's air."--Cf. Preface.
"Printed by Strangeways and Sons".
"Some observations on the country and on rural poetry": p.[1]-14.
