A tight and attractive first of this illustrated edition, an elaborate production done in a pseudo illuminated manuscript style, of the best known hymn by the short-lived English poet (1805-48) -- long believed (erroneously) to be the tune played by the Titanic's eight-piece orchestra as the ship sank in 1912. A lovely copy.
