This is a beautiful 1913 Oxford University Press edition of the collected works of Adam Lindsay Gordon, often referred to as Australia's National Poet. Edited by Frank Maldon Robb, this edition is notable for its comprehensive introduction and notes regarding Gordon's life as a steeplechaser and legendary bush poet. The book features a handsome half-leather binding with deep burgundy morocco leather, gold gilt tooling on the spine, and classic marbled paper boards with matching marbled page edges. While Gordon was born in the Azores and educated in the UK, his work defined the Australian colonial spirit, making this a significant piece for collectors of Australiana or classic poetry.

This antique volume is the 1913 Oxford Edition published by Humphrey Milford. The interior pages remain clean and bright with the original frontispiece portrait of the author intact. There is a vintage handwritten provenance note on the interior flyleaf dated 1941. Please note the condition: both the front and back covers have become detached from the spine. However, the covers themselves are in good aesthetic condition and are included for restoration or rebinding. The spine remains attached to the text block, showing the ornate gold gilt work.
