The Poems of W.B. Yeats.

£3,250 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

The Second World War delayed the publication of this definitive edition by a long time, more than a decade after the author signed the sheets, and the year after his remains (or remains approximating to his) were interred in Sligo in a great national ceremony. A near fine set, with the publisher’s prospectus loosely inserted. Wade 209 and 210.

• Year: 1949
