Robert Anning Bell. Poems / John Keats. (Endymion series). London: George Bell & Sons, 1897
“A particularly beautiful volume in our special collections was published in 1897 by George Bell as part of the Endymion series of the works of the great poets. Poems by John Keats includes numerous illustrations by Anning Bell but it is the binding which is particularly striking. Designed by Anning Bell himself it is in cream cloth with green-printed trellis and vines and red-printed grapes and letters. Even George Bell’s publisher’s device, printed to the rear, was designed by Anning Bell, as were the green-printed endpapers of vertical bands with clover leaves and entwined JK monograms.”
