Guildford: Billings and Sons, printers. x, 194p. The frontispiece and the plate opposite page 189 are by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. A printed slip tipped into the front endpaper states: "...with two designs by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

The copies now published are all that remain from the original printing, those on large paper being selected impressions. 'The Queen's Page' has never before been made public: the circumstances in which it was designed are described in the volume." Robin de Beaumont's notes regarding price and dating of this copy are written on the front endpaper recto.
