CHARLES I, King of England. Eikon Basilike. Folding engraved plate with explanatory text by William Marshall (dampstained, with repairs on verso); lacks the two portraits. [8], 263 pages. 8vo, original gilt-panelled black morocco with crowned monogram C R in center of covers (see Madan, page 190, figure 7), spine faded, ends chipped. [London], 1649
- Notes: Almack 43; Madan 25; Wing E307. According to Madan (page 189), "the special sanctity attaching to the book led to a demand for better-quality bindings of a more distinctive type," which were often decorated with the King's crowned monogram as in this copy.
