'The Ballad of Jan van Hunks' by Dante Gabriel Rossetti; [March?] 1882. Autograph fair copy, with additions and revisions in ink and pencil, written on one side only of eleven leaves and on both sides of a further two leaves (ff. 1 and 2) of a quarto notebook of twenty-eight leaves. White, laid and ruled paper, without watermark. A fly-leaf has been tipped in at a later date. According to W. T. Watts[-Dunton] ('A Glimpse of Rossetti and Morris at Kelmscott', printed in The English Review for Jan. 1909), Rossetti set about finishing the poem, which had been partly written years before, during the last weeks of his life. Watts[-Dunton] goes on 'And very soon the poem was all written out in his beautiful handwriting from the first line to the last'. First printed in The English Review for Jan. 1909, reprinted by T. J. Wise for W. T. Watts[-Dunton] in The Ballad of Jan van Hunks, 1912, and reprinted again in The Ballad of Jan van Hunks, 1929. Ashley Library Catalogue, iv, pp. 152-153.
