Early 19th-century editions from this press are noted for their quality of production, and examples retaining decorative bindings and original features such as tissue guards are increasingly scarce. Copies in well-preserved condition are less frequently encountered on the secondary market. A desirable example for collectors of finely bound poetry and early 19th-century publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1255\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1255\" data-end=\"1284\"\u003eThe Shipwreck \u0026amp; Other Poems\u003c\/em\u003e brings together William Falconer’s maritime verse, most notably his celebrated poem \u003cem data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1384\"\u003eThe Shipwreck\u003c\/em\u003e, which draws on his own seafaring experience.
