A superbly preserved first Widdleton edition of the Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. Adorned with a superbly executed frontis, and an early anonymous biography, this the first printing released by the firm after they purchased the copyright for Poe's works in the same year.
Poe, Edgar Allan. Poems by Edgar Allen Poe Complete with and Original Memoir. New York. W. J. Widdleton, Publisher. 1863. 278pp.
A very good copy, bound in cloth that's very slightly rubbed and bumped, and has a small nick at the base of the spine. Text is generally solid, with generally bright pages, has light foxing, and the brown endpapers are a bit dappled.
