A very well-preserved example of this uncommon large paper edition, part of the Moray Library series. Gleeson White (1851-98) was a prolific player on the eighteen-nineties scene, editing several important periodicals from the time, including, with Charles Shannon, the Pageant. He provided the cover design for Wratislaw's Caprices, and was gifted number one of the special issue of that work by the author. The title Garde Joyeuse is taken from the name of castle given to Sir Lancelot in Arthurian legend.
