2 volumes. [42], 520; [4], 358 pp. Odyssey with 47 (of 50?) copper-engraved plates, including portrait of Ogilby and portrait of Homer; Iliad with copper-engraved frontispiece and 24 copper-engraved plates. 28x24.5 cm. (15x9½"), modern full red morocco.

Ogilby's translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey, with captivating engraved plates. The portrait of King Charles called for in the Odyssey, which is often lacking, is not present in this copy; also, some sources indicate a double-frontispiece, or a frontispiece and an engraved title - only a single frontispiece is in this copy. The Iliad appears to be lacking three plates.
