Catalogue Note
Inscribed to G.F. Watts by Tennyson on flyleaf, together with Lord Tennyson's compliments slip. Watts had painted two portraits of the elderly Tennyson in 1889, and as Tennyson was only given his peerage in 1883, it seems likely that this book was given as a token of thanks on that occasion.
