63585London: E. Moxon Son & Co. 1878. FIRST EDITION THUS. Large 4to. 33.5 x 24.5 cm. 16pp. of introductory text followed by the plates. Contemporary full maroon morocco spines ruled with gilt fillets spine with raised bands and gilt-decorated compartments broad inner dentelles gilt marbled endpapers all edges gilt. 37 steel-engraved plates after Gustave Doré including frontispiece. The plates bring together all of Doré's illustrations from Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King' namely Enid Elaine Vivien and Guinivere. These were each published separately by Moxon about a decade earlier. Old presentation dated Christmas 1910 to flyleaf. An excellent copy. "One of the finest lyrists of the English tongue" Kunitz & Haycraft 612 Tennyson reawakened the general reading public's interest in Arthurian legend with his Idylls of the King. The first four of the cycle's eventual 12 poems were first published in 1859. Tennyson's retelling of the old tales placed them "on a new plateau of respect and significance for writers and artists" Lacy 446. "No other foreign illustrator and few native ones of the period so completely captured the English fancy as Doré…Tennyson and his publisher Moxon greatly favored Doré as an illustrator" Muir Victorian Illustrated Books 227 244. Moxon was in fact "the only publisher ever to commission steel engravings from Doré.the steel engravings give much more of a speckled look to the scenes different from the grainy look of Doré's usual wood engravings. It produces a dreamy mystical serene feeling that is quite different for Doré" Malan 97. London: E. Moxon, Son, & Co., [1878]. hardcover
