THE PLAYS OF EURIPIDES.
by Euripides.
Finely printed in an edition limited to 500 copies. (Harrop, Ransom, Zilverdistel no.18). Title pages printed in two colors. Illustrated with many wood engravings by Robert Ashwin Maynard and Horace Walter Bray adapted from paintings on Greek vases (which are listed at the end of volume II). This was by far the most expensive production of the Gregynog Press. The last work done by Maynard and Bray for the Press, Harrop considers this a "fitting swan song" for the artist/designers. Translated by Gilbert Murray. Covers rubbed.
