A very well-preserved example of this uncommon large paper edition, part of the Moray Library series. Gleeson White (1851-98) was a prolific player on the eighteen-nineties scene, editing several important periodicals from the time, including, with Charles Shannon, the Pageant. He provided the cover design for Wratislaw's Caprices, and was gifted number one of the special issue of that work by the author. The title Garde Joyeuse is taken from the name of castle given to Sir Lancelot in Arthurian legend.

First edition, number 36 of 95 large paper copies; 8vo; unopened, mark to foot of one page, half-title with minor paper-flaw to fore-edge; original card wrappers with publisher's French folded printed dust-jacket, a little dust-soiled but overall very good.
