Printed cloth covers in excellent condition, contents unmarked, colour frontis and 6 black and white woodcuts by Rigby Graham, number 8 from an edition of just 60, complete with the full page prospectus, uncommon Size: Small Folio.

40/60 COPIES, printed in samson uncial, notes in post-versal, postscript in spectrum semi-bold, on magnani paper, frontispiece with tipped-in colour postcard of Graham's watercolour of 'Gylen Castle', six monochrome woodcuts featuring the poet, Fingal's cave and the grass boat for Kerrera, pp. 27, [iv], small folio, original claret cloth, upper board with title and Graham Keats' design stamped in black, backstrip gilt lettered, fine. The result of a trip taken by printer and artist 'in relative discomfort' to various islands off the west coast of Scotland, inadvertently, van Eijk discovered later, in the footsteps of John Keats, who, in a letter to his youngest brother, had expressed his particular admiration of Fingal's Cave, which, he wrote 'can only be represented by a first rate drawing.' Graham took the bait - further trips to the western isles followed, leading to this edition. With full-page prospectus, printed using the types of the edition.
