The Erotic Elegies of Albius Tibullus, translated by Hubert Creekmore and illustrated by Edward Melcarth, is published by Washington Square Press in 1966. This edition includes the poems of Sulpicia arranged as a sequence called "No Harm to Lovers." Albius Tibullus, a notable poet of the Roman era, is known for his elegiac poetry, exploring themes of love and passion. This specific edition is distinct with its illustrations by Edward Melcarth, adding a visual dimension to the classical texts. The book is an ex-library copy, marked with library stamps and stickers, indicating its prior use in a public collection. The dust jacket shows signs of wear, typical for library editions, yet remains a valuable piece for collectors interested in classical literature and poetry.
