Dante Gabriell Rossetti with Christina Rossetti
Carr reported in 1987 is his History of the QTP that he had published one impression of the back-to-back poems of Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1834-1896) with his sister Christina Rossetti. Three impressions have been seen, the third numbered 71, so was probably published before 1987. This entry is the same as for his sister as they are the same small books.
In an ISBN search the author of this book is shown as Estelle C.L. Schumacher
, who is also the publisher. I wonder where that came from? Don't trust ISBN databases.
