xvi, 18pp, black and white vignette on title page. Printed red cloth-covered boards. Rubbed spine ends. Bottom corners bumped. Cloth worn through on places along bottom. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. 4to. An elegantly designed volume with printed page borders and two-colour printed annotations, decorative head pieces and a stunning introductory illustration, all by Bernard Sleigh. A reprint of Havelock Ellis’s translation of Renan’s dramatic rendition the ancient Hebrew drama, written some time after the death of Solomon. This edition was produced as a fine printing, likely in-house, project and hence was produced to exacting, perhaps even decadent, standards. Printed under the direction of Leonard Jay who in his teaching advocated the application of the aesthetic principles of the Private Press and the Arts and Crafts Movements to the mechanical composition of commercial printing. WorldCat records only one copy, held by the British Library.
