Demy-octavos 16.5cm; contemporary full diced calf; bound including original title pages; half-titles and terminal leaves where called for. An attractive set in contemporary binding sympathetically re-backed preserving the original endpapers as well as most of the original spines and spine labels.

The remaining volumes are first printings. WISE II p.3-8. Thomas Davison / John Hunt unknown

1832177879Paris: Baudry's Foreign Library & 5 others in Paris 1832-33. An early continental edition of Byron's collected poetry bound uniformly with two biographical volumes edited by his friend Thomas Moore. Both works were published by the notable Parisian publisher of pirated English-language works Louis-Claude Baudry 1793-1853. Baudry's Foreign Library preceded by decades the Tauchnitz editions of English books sold on the continent from 1841. As multiple agents held the British copyright for different Byron poems contemporary authorized editions of his collected works were often found less complete than their continental counterparts. European publishers "who were not bound by British intellectual property laws were soon producing attractive multi-volume editions which were not only cheaper but textually more complete than anything available at home" St Clair p. 294. As such they were often purchased by British individuals book clubs and circulating libraries. Two works in 6 vols octavo 210 x 127 mm. Engraved portrait frontispieces in the first vol. of both works other vols bound without frontispieces as usual. Contemporary brown morocco spines with raised bands lettered in gilt compartments elaborately decorated in gilt triple gilt fillet to boards gilt inner dentelles cream coated endpapers gilt edges red bookmarkers. Bindings well-preserved with minor corner wear and faint marks to boards contents foxed and occasionally toned. A very good set.

It was William and Edward Finden's illustrations to Byron that substantially enhanced the status of their work. Following his death in Greece in 1824 their engravings sensitively conveyed to a wide contemporary audience images of Byron's life and work. Finden's Landscape Illustrations to the Life and Works of Byron finally appeared in fourteen monthly parts with both Murray's and Tilt's names on the paper wrappers from January 1832. The Illustrations created a great sensation and led to further projects to engrave the life and works of other poets" ODNB. John Murray unknown
