About This Item
London : Smith, Elder and Co., 1876. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 7" by 4.5". None. Pacchiarotto, and How He Worked in Distemper is a short collection of English poems by Robert Browning, published in 1876. The collection marked Browning's first collection of short pieces for more than twelve years, and was well received. First edition. The title poem, which ostensibly discusses the life and works of 15th Century Italian painter Giacomo Pacchiarotti, is actually a thinly veiled attack on Browning's own critics, and many other pieces in the collection take the same tone. With unpaginated advertisements for Elizabeth Barratt Browning's poetry. In a cloth binding. Externally, generally smart with only slight wear to extremities and the very odd mark to boards. Internally, firmly bound. Bright and generally clean but with slight foxing to endpapers and spotting to text block edges. Very Good
