WATSON, William.
The Purple East: A Series of Sonnets on England's Desertion of Armenia.
The frontispiece is an attractive reproduction of Watts’s allegorical painting ‘The All-Pervading’.
With Art Nouveau bookplate of Christie Chetwynd Atkinson, Rector of Ashton upon Mersey.
Spine slightly darkened. In all other respects an unusually bright and fine copy of Watson’s extraordinary and very badly received attack on England’s refusal to intercede with Turkey – “that viceregency of Hell” – on behalf of Armenia.
