Sobre este artículo
New York: The Limited Editions Club; The George Macy Companies, Inc., 1946. Signed Limited Edition; First Edition Thus. Quarter Leather over Decorated Paper on Boards; with slipcase. Very Good Plus. Copy No. 5 of limited edition of 1,500; signed by Arthur Szyk. xx, 550, [2] pp. With color plate illustrations for each character and a double sided illustration for the entire group in the front, all done by Szyk in his highly original, ornate, appealingly lurid, Durer-esque manner. Clean and tight. With paper decoration of a Medieval-style diaper featuring a quattrofoil and cameo within. Some wear to leather, more pronounced at tips, and somewhat gouped up at lower rear gutter where a clumsy restoration might have been attempted. Still attractive overall. Some edgewear to the slipcase, which as a box retains functional integrity and remains handsome, with similar diaper pattern to boards but a bit darkened.
