First edition thus. With designs by T.R.R.P. 8vo. Poem printed across 10 double-spread pages within ornate Art Nouveau borders of flowers, fruits and berries. Original grey cloth boards with vellum spine. Printed in red and black on thick paper with ragged fore-edge. A few spots of foxing to spine and offsetting to endpapers. A near fine copy of Tennyson's long poem first published in a collection of his works in 1832. It was inspired by a trip to Spain with his friend Arthur Hallam and in particular to the Pyrenees. The poem describes a group of mariners who, upon eating the lotos, are put into an altered state and isolated from the outside world.
