About the Item

Philip the King by John Masefield and Illustrated by Laurence Irving. Published by Heinemann, London, 1927. 1st Limited Ed hardcover #360/360. With 12 tipped in illustrations printed on Japan paper. The book is set in a dark cell in Philip's palace in late September of 1588. The characters are; Philip the Second of Spain, his daughter, the Infanta, an English Prisoner, A Spanish Captain, and the Guards. The spirits are; Indians, Don John of Austria, Escovedo, Don Alvaro de Bazan, and Alonso de Leyva. Voices of the spirits from King Philip's past tell him how they died for his dreams of glory and now it is his turn to pay with his death. Voices of his brother, whom he killed and others tell him that he could have conquered England if he had listened to them instead of having them killed. The book is signed and inscribed by the Author and the Illustrator. This is a special copy of the 10 that were not for sale. It is also inscribed by Mansfield to Nelson Doubleday "Rest and Be Thankful Copy." It was also the last numbered copy in the total printing.
