Sobre este artículo
London: Daily Express, 1936. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Illustrations by Alfred Bestall. Original red cloth with black titles to the spine and front panel in the original D/W. The book is a beautiful fine example with no fading or ghosting to the boards - certainly the best we have handled - with the "Book belongs to" box not completed. The pages are clean with just a trace of foxing. The paintings have been neatly completed in watercolour by a former owner. This book comes with a lovely example of the VERY SCARCE D/W which has benefitted from some highly skilled archival repair and refurbishment (by one of the UK's leading paper conservators) chiefly to a 5 1/2 cm at the head of the spine replacing missing artwork and now shows as a most attractive example that shows well. The D/W is not price-clipped and not spine-faded. The very first Rupert annual and the first Rupert book to be illustrated by Alfred Bestall. The first time Rupert appeared wearing his now famous red jumper. (Tourtel's Rupert was dressed in blue). Included is a photograph of the D/W pre and post restoration. Photographs/scans available upon request.
