Portrait; illustrated by Edward Lear. 100 proof copies, signed by Tennyson, on Japan Vellum. Lear had died a year before this book was published and we are told by Hallam Tennyson that much as his father disliked signing books he did so in this case in memory of his old friend. A very fine copy of an uncommon book in a splendid binding.
