KEATS, JOHN

Endymion: A Poetic Romance

London: Printed for Taylor and Hessey, 1818. First Edition; first issue (or perhaps printing?); the erratum leaf is in the first state, but it has been bound without ads in a full red crushed morocco binding by Zaehnsdorf, but which is damaged. The contents are gilt-edged; ownership inscriptions on the first blank; overall in excellent shape, in a custom clamshell box. Featuring one of the most famous lines in poetry, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever...” All books described as first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted.
