Description |
English: Christina Rossetti. Goblin Market and other poems. Second edition. London: Macmillan and Co., 1865. London: Bradbury and Evans, printers Whitefriars. vii,192p. 2 plates. The half-title page is divided into three panels by double vertical and horizontal fillets. The title and edition are printed in the upper panels, and the imprint in the lower. The title page illustration is within a decorative border, "Golden head by golden head", with the sisters Laura and Lizzie lying in bed in each other's arms, in the top left corner, in a circular inset - perhaps representing a window or an image of the moon - the triumphant goblin men are shown marching under the moon and stars, carrying their baskets of wicked fruits. 1862. Signed with the monogram: "GDR" [i.e. Dante Gabriel Rossetti] as a monogram in the left hand corner, and "WJL" [i.e. William James Linton] on the lower right hand corner. The frontispiece plate has the caption:" / Buy from us a golden curl/ "; it shows Laura on her knees cutting a lock of her hair to exchange for the dangerous fruit of the goblins who re portrayed with the heads of rodents and birds; it is signed "MMF&Co" [i.e. Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.] on the bottom left-hand corner and “DGR” [i.e. Dante Gabriel Rossetti] as a monogram in the bottom right hand corner .
Binding: Brown endpapers and pastedowns. Binder’s ticket on lower pastedown: “/ Bound by/ Burn/ 37 & 38/ Kirby St./” [Ball no. 20A] Light blue ungrained smooth cloth. Both covers blocked identically, in blind on the lower, and in gold on the upper. (The blocked is identical as for the 1962 edition, with the exception that the horizontal fillets stop of the fore edge of each cover.) Two fillets are blocked close together, head to tail, by the spine. A third vertical fillet is blocked further away from the spine. A fourth vertical fillet is blocked in gold near the fore edge. Two fillets are blocked horizontally in gold, intersecting the vertical fillets. Rectangles are formed by the intersecting single fillets. Groups of three small circles are blocked in gold at four of the intersection points. Two more groups of the three circles are blocked diagonally opposite those on the corners of the square nearest the spine. The spine is blocked in gold. The fillets at the head and at the base join the horizontal fillets on the upper cover. From the head downwards, the decoration is: the words: "/Goblin/ Market/ & other/ Poems./";[rule] ; "/Christina/ Rossetti./ [rule]" are blocked in gold; three small circles in gold underneath the title. |

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
