Copy 1: in sound green morocco with a Greek key border, yellow end-papers. Many of the plates in this copy are without imprints; all are without titles; plate opposite page 29 is misidentified as a Stothard design (it is actually 1 of 2 plates designed by E.F. Burney).

Oblong folio. The 34 engravings have an imprint: "Published
as the Act directs June 1st 1793."
Copy 1: The title and plates are quite distinct though
the title is identical in facsimile transcription. For instance, in the "1793" on the title page, the "1" is shorter than the "7", and the "9" touches
the framing-line in the PMF copy, while in others the "1" is the same size as the "7", and the "9" does
not touch the framing-line.† Bound c. 1820 in gilt and blind-stamped
dark black morocco with "FLAXMAN'S DESIGNS FOR THE ILIAD OF HOMER" on
WATERMARKS: circular emblem like a distorted fleur de lis; PIETRO │ MILANI │ FABRIANO; PM │ F on the plates; J WHATMAN │ 1820 on front and back end-papers.

with "FLAXMAN'S │ HOMER" on the front board and the spine.
Embossed, wall-paper-like end-papers. WATERMARK: AG │ C (throughout).

framing line and pasted on grey paper. There are two (?or three) stab
holes throughout. The fly-leaf is inscribed "For dear Charles & Maria Beckford, │ from their very affectionate & sympathetic Cousin │ Harriet Seymor │ Dec 16 1853".

The plates in this edition (all the printing is from plates) are quite distinct from the ZOONEN Odyssey (1793);
for instance on the title page "1793", the "7" is shorter than the "9" in
the AGC copy, while in the ZOONEN copy they are the same length; on pl. 4, there are no shading lines by the child's head in the AGC copy, whereas there are shading lines in the ZOONEN copy.
The Odyssey is followed by a leaf of type-set "SPIEGAZIONE DELLE TAVOLE",
backed by different, heavy paper.
Copy 3: Bound about 1800 in | dark green
morocco over purple marbled boards, the spine gilt with "FLAXMAN
