Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1884. "Copyright Edition". 16mo, 286 pp.; gilt and black decorated vellum, wth Browning's name and a fleur-de-lis device on cover as well. Gilt dentelles, all edges gilt. Ornate floral-pattern endpapers. Patch of rubbing on the cover, moderate soil, light wear also at spine ends and to the black portion of the spine, corners bumped a little. See scans. Last [one-page] poem ["Never the Time and Place"] has been excised. Still a gorgeously bound piece, remaining bright and firm, clearly an upscale fine-binding from Tauchnitz. A volume from an obviously collector-targeting set, with three poems from The Ring and The Book and fifteen [would be 16] other poems described as "later poems". See scans. L20n
