Published by The Cresset Press Ltd., 11 Fitzroy Square, London | Printed by Bernard H. Newdigate at the Shakespeare Head Press, S. Aldates, Oxford First Edition 1931. 1931.

Uniform first Cresset Press edition hard back binding in publisher's original full cream buckram cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spines, deckle page edges. Folio. 14¾'' x 10½''. Matching pair by The Cresset Press Limited Edition numbered copies with hand written number 163 of 195 to each volume on Batchelor's hand-made paper (plus 10 copies on Roman Vellum). The final work printed by The Cresset Press, an independent press from 1927 for 40 years, and initially specialising in expensively illustrated limited editions of classical works, going on to produce well-designed trade editions of literary and political works. Milton's Paradise Lost is thought by many to be its finest work, and printed by Bernard Newdigate at the Shakespeare Head Press. With twenty wood-engravings by Demetrios Galanis (16 full-page, plus head and tail pieces in each volume) and the title-page and initial letters by Anna Simons. From the second edition, revised and augmented by the Author, printed at London by S. Simmons in 1674. Paradise Lost concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men". Paradise Regained is a poem, first published in 1671, which is connected by name to his earlier and more famous epic poem Paradise Lost, with which it shares similar theological themes; indeed, its title, its use of blank verse, and its progression through Christian history recall the earlier work. However, this effort deals primarily with the temptation of Christ as recounted in the Gospel of Luke. Contains Volume I, (i)-xii, (1)-442, colophon; Volume II, (i-vi), (1)-88, colophon, illustrations throughout the text, limitation statement for each volume at the end of each volume. Both volumes are housed in a matching slipcase and in Fine condition. Heavy volumes 5 kg, extra postage will be requested over and above our default setting for destinations outside the UK.
