Hand and Soul. First Kelmscott edition, one of 300 copies on paper issued in America, from a total edition of 525. This beautifully produced volume tells the fictional story of Chiaro dell'Erma, a young painter in medieval Italy who struggles with the purpose of art and life and presents Rossetti's ideals of Romantic aesthetics. The work was first printed in 1850 in the Germ, a short-lived Pre-Raphaelite magazine.
