The patterned paper-covered boards remain structurally sound and bright, with only minor rubbing and gentle wear to the corners and extremities. The spine, while slightly sunned, is fully intact with the printed paper label remaining crisp and legible. The binding is tight and secure throughout. Internally, the text block is highly presentable; the untrimmed fore-edges show expected light age-toning, and there is mild offsetting to the endpapers, characteristic of the Van Gelder paper used in this edition, but the leaves themselves are otherwise clean and free from foxing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is the first edition, limited to a total of 700 copies printed on Van Gelder paper. Of this run, 75 were specially bound in goatskin, making this copy the standard issue in boards. Printed by Walter Lewis at the University Press, Cambridge, the binding utilises Curwen patterned paper designed by Enid Marx. Published to coincide with the three-hundredth anniversary of George Chapman's death, this edition is an attractive example of Nonesuch Press craftsmanship. While the original paper chemise and slipcase are absent here, standalone volumes in this condition remain desirable on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished to mark the tercentenary of the great Elizabethan dramatist and translator's death, this exquisite Nonesuch Press edition features a sweeping and insightful essay by Havelock Ellis. Accompanying Ellis’s critique are twenty-six carefully curated illustrative passages drawn directly from George Chapman’s poetry, plays, and renowned translations. A beautifully crafted homage to one of the English Renaissance’s most formidable literary figures, it remains a testament to both Chapman's enduring legacy and the celebrated typographical artistry of the press.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54813588095315,"sku":"5298","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260819_134905.jpg?v=1788250853","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/chapman-havelock-ellis-1st-edition-limited","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
