and other Love Lyrics from India. Arranged in verse by Laurence Hope.
The Garden of Kama and other Love Lyrics from India. Arranged in verse by Laurence Hope.
Heinemann, 1914.
First illustrated edition of this charming book of verse. Large 4to. Orange cloth lettered in black and with gilt stamped vignettes. Twenty four full page colour plates under captioned tissue guards by Byam Shaw. A very good copy, spine faded.
A Bookman review of Christmas 1914 spoke highly of both the verse: "An eastern splendour of imagery, the mysticism, the sensuousness, the esoteric vision of the east shine and breathe and brood through all the poems in the book;" and of Shaw's wonderful illustrations: "some of the most delightful examples of his art; his drawings have a richness of colouring, an ornate, alien beauty, a simplicity of outline and symbolical suggestiveness of detail that are fascinatingly in harmony with the charm and spirit of the poems themselves."
