Collection Creator Biography:

Ibbett, William Joseph, b. 1858

William Joseph Ibbett, a prolific but "unfashionable" English poet, worked in the General Post Office. Many of his works were published privately, either printed by himself on his own press or sometimes, as shown here, in small manuscript editions. A. H. Bullen of the Shakespeare Head Press published at least two of Ibbett's works.
