British lyricist (1836–1911) best known for his 14 comic operas written in collaboration with composer Arthur Sullivan. Signed book: W. S. Gilbert’s Original Plays: First Series. An uncommon presentation edition. London: Chatto and Windus, 1894. Hardcover, 5 x 6.5, 242 pages. Signed on the author’s note page, “Yours faithfully, W. S. Gilbert, 11 Dec 1903.” In very good condition, with partially cracked hinges, pencil and ink notations to opening pages, some light rippling to front cover, as well as some corner bumps and light soiling. Presentation copies are quite scarce, and when found they are typically signed ‘with the compliments of the author.’
