Faber and Faber brought out the most beautiful books earlier this year, if you're into poetry and illustration reminiscent of woodcut printing methods you should read on...
The series of 8 hardback books have illustrated covers inspired by Josiah Wedgwood - of Wedgwood Pottery. He was chosen as inspiration due to having strong links to poets from the Romantic period.
The covers also bare reference to the poems and their content that each of the cover conceals. Inside each volume are also carefully considered endpapers, created in homage to the historical technique of marbling.
The eight poets included are Byron, Clare, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, Blake, Burns and Keats
