Octavo. 94pp. This copy accompanied by one of Savage's original engravings for the book: the scene on p. 24 of the titular heroine tumbling from her spooked steed. A delight printing by C. R. Ashbee, who here applies his talents to the humorous longform poem by Hood. Bound in quarter buckram with blue paper-covered boards, with paper labels to upper cover and to spine. Some exterior soiling, minor chips to spine label, corners sparsely rubbed. Engraving is matted. A near fine selection.
